Full Time Job
Hearst Magazines is seeking a Beauty Director to spearhead its online beauty coverage. This position is a vital part of the ELLE.com team, responsible for managing ELLE.com's beauty coverage on site, social, and in video -pitching, writing and/or assigning, editing, and publishing a robust lineup that runs the gamut from quick news items to smart service to bigger long-lead projects to exciting new franchises. This position reports to the Site Director and works closely with all departments.
We're looking for someone who's obsessed with beauty, who can cover a quick news release with a fresh angle, but who can also contextualize what's happening in the beauty world within the larger cultural conversation. This person has endless ideas both big and small, has experience with (and interest in) social media and video, and has serious internet savvy-someone who lives online and knows what readers respond to and what they don't, and someone who cares about why.
Exceptional writing, editing, and brainstorming skills are essential, as are self-motivation and the ability to meet tight daily and weekly deadlines.
Responsibilities:
• Pitch, write, edit, and manage ELLE.com's beauty coverage
• Pitch, storyboard out, and oversee beauty videos
• Maintain the beauty editorial calendar
• Proactively assess story performance via analytics and plan future content accordingly
• Cover backstage beauty at New York Fashion Week
• Contribute to ELLE.com's Instagram coverage
Experience:
• At least seven years creating content for a media property, ideally digital
• At least four years writing and editing beauty content
• Good judgment as to what works to drive audience and engagement in digital media
• Excellent writing, editing, and brainstorming skills
• Familiarity with and interest in making videos for web
• Interest in women's media, beauty, fashion, politics, celebrity, news, and women's issues
• Knowledge of SEO, a CMS, and PhotoShop
• Experience tracking real-time and long-term analytics
• Bachelor's degree
Note: For consideration, resumes must be submitted in .pdf format with a cover letter, salary requirements, and a link to a portfolio of work
