Your Impact:

The ideal person for this gig is obsessed with online shopping and finding the best sales and newest up-and-coming products - including buzzy items for the home, the most helpful new appliances, the latest health tools, beauty must-haves, popular tech gear, cool kids stuff, and more. You should feel confident packaging these stories for viral and search success with compelling imagery, attention-grabbing headlines, and clear copy. Even better: You're a pro at diving into data and using reporting tools to inform voice-y, super shareable articles.
In this role, you'll have the opportunity to work with a wide variety of merchants across the fashion, tech, home, and fitness space. You should be skilled at making data-driven decisions and seeking out new opportunities based on content trends and search opportunities. This position will report to the Director of Commerce.
