Commerce Writer, PEOPLE

The Commerce News and Deals team at Dotdash Meredith is looking for a smart, sharp writer to craft shopping stories at the intersection of celebrity, fashion, and beauty for PEOPLE.com. We need someone who understands online shopping, affiliate content, and the PEOPLE voice — and, of course, how to hunt down a good deal on the internet. They will pitch and write multiple stories per week from an editorial point of view, telling readers about the products celebrities use (and similar styles) and amazing deals they’ve found on the things our readers love most. Most importantly, they’ll use affiliate links in these stories so that customers can purchase those products. The right candidates will be knowledgeable about shopping online, parsing data to make informed pitch decisions, and search keyword-driven content. This is a 40-hour/week contract position with competitive hourly rates commensurate with experience. The right candidate will have the option to continually extend their contract and may have the opportunity to join the team full-time. Writers must be based in the U.S. and be comfortable working remotely. Only applications that include cover letters will be considered.
