The Hollywood Reporter is hiring an E-commerce Writer to create shoppable content. The writer will also be writing in-depth reviews on some of the latest products available in the marketplace. The ideal candidate will have experience writing e-commerce content as well as a demonstrated interest in covering consumer tech, fashion and entertainment. Experience with affiliate networks and link tracking platforms preferred and is a major plus.
A knowledge of the entertainment world and the style/lifestyle world is a must. This includes - but is not limited to - television, movies, theater, music, video games, fashion, consumer tech, beauty and more. The ideal candidate
We're seeking an excellent writer, pro-active reporter and original thinker who can jump in and create timely and aesthetically appealing stories for The Hollywood Reporter's ecommerce vertical and be part of its dynamic, award-winning team.

The E-Commerce Writer must also have an appreciation for The Hollywood Reporter voice and be comfortable writing well-researched recommendations that feel appropriate for The Hollywood Reporter entertainment-obsessed reader.
