House Beautiful Has New Opening For Assistant Editor

House Beautiful Seeking an Energized and Home-Obsessed Assistant Editor to Join The Team

This role supports editors in a largely creative capacity: Besides managing the editorial inbox and conducting research for big packages and features, you’ll also pitch and write your own stories, coordinate with the art team on visuals, build features in CMS, and track their performance. Some administrative work (like building CMS stories and questionnaires as needed) will be expected, but this is very much an editorial position. Strong writing skills and the ability to work quickly, without sacrificing quality, is a must. If you follow tons of interior designers on Instagram and love reading and writing about their work, then you’ll love the job.

Please note: For consideration, resumes must be submitted in PDF format with a cover letter, salary requirements, and a link to a portfolio of work.

What You’ll Do:

Pitch, research, and write 2 digital stories (news pegs, idea roundups, SEO assignments, room tours, etc) every day
Work with art, video, and social teams to create assets to support these stories
Assist editors with research and administrative support on big features and packages across platforms (print, digital, video, social)
Manage the editorial inbox, forwarding pitches and story ideas to their respective recipients on team and responding as needed
Track content performance and data trends to optimize output
Work with fellow editors to optimize shopping content and shoppable moments across the site.
Contribute to print as needed

Who you are:

1+ years experience at a magazine is preferred
Have a strong interest in writing home design content
A self-starter with strong writing skills and ideally some experience working in an editorial environment
A quick thinker, hard worker, and positive team player
Hyper organized and unafraid of getting in the weeds with a spreadsheet
Excited to use data to inform pitches and writing
Able to juggle multiple projects simultaneously
