Newsletter Editor
The Strategist is New York Magazine’s award-winning print section and companion website that’s devoted to helping readers navigate the vast online shopping landscape. Our team of journalists are obsessively testing new products, collecting first-hand experience, and interviewing those whose taste and expertise we trust to find the products that are actually worth buying — and we’re looking for a newsletter editor who understands how to showcase those stories in our readers’ inboxes, as well as help develop new editorially minded sends.
The Strategist is part of Vox Media, the leading modern media company. We guide our audience from discovery to obsession. We inspire essential conversations about what’s now, what’s next, and what’s possible.
As a community of journalists and storytellers, business professionals, creators and technologists, we believe it is a moral and business imperative to amplify voices: to cultivate diversity, equity, and inclusion throughout our organization and media. This applies to our candidates, our teams, our storytelling, our creative work, and our platforms, products, and partnerships.
