Required Qualifications, Capabilities, And Skills

5+ years of editing experience. You're comfortable diving into a piece of writing and know how to give constructive feedback to writers.
Excellent copy-editing and fact-checking skills. You love grammar and would lose sleep over a missing comma or a misspelled menu item.
Demonstrated ability to project manage across different teams and time zones, and deliver on deadline.
You feel comfortable overseeing diverse teams and leading the editing process with writers.
Passion for restaurants, especially in your home city. You're the kind of person who plans trips around what you're going to eat, and you're the friend in the group who picks the restaurant.
A familiarity with the Infatuation voice and brand, and an understanding of the fact that we don't use words like "foodie" or "nestled" or "toothsome." You've read our reviews and guides, and hopefully you've used The Infatuation to find a great restaurant.
