Commerce Writer, PEOPLE

The Commerce News and Deals team at Dotdash Meredith is looking for a smart, sharp writer to craft shopping stories for PEOPLE.com. We need someone who understands its audience, affiliate content, writing with a defined brand voice, and, of course, how to hunt down a good deal on the internet. They will pitch and write multiple stories per week that tell readers about products that are trending right now, items loved by celebrities and everyday shoppers alike, 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, perform keyword research to properly target those stories, and parse post-publish data to make informed pitch decisions going forward. 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. Previous commerce experience is necessary for this role.
