The Page Six video team is seeking a Video Editor for a new state of the art studio who will help us make existing series and compelling, shareable videos about gossip, celebrities, and fashion – subjects that are the mainstay of the nation’s most iconic gossip column. You should love celebrity journalism and possess deep knowledge about the latest celebrity gossip, feuds, scandals and hookups. You should live and breathe celebrity lifestyle, fashion and social media, with your fingers on the pulse.

We seek a candidate who is excited about new types of multimedia storytelling and has a track record of creating digital video in a fast-paced news organization. Must be aware of the latest formats and trends in digital video as a distinct form of content versus television.

This is a fast-paced job that requires a love of all things celebrity, a strong editorial sense and the ability to stay organized while multitasking. Like us, you believe news doesn’t have to be boring and you appreciate the odd and unconventional stories as well as important ones.

This is an opportunity to work with an iconic media brand as it experiences exponential digital growth. New York Post and Page Six videos have received more than a billion views in the past few years.
