Senior Shopping Writer – British Vogue

British Vogue is seeking a passionate and authoritative Senior Shopping Writer to join the Vogue Shopping team, helping to expand and optimise Vogue’s fashion shopping vertical across digital platforms. They will craft distinctive and compelling shopping content that inspires our audience while driving meaningful commercial growth across affiliate and partnerships. The ideal candidate will be an experienced fashion journalist with exceptional editorial instincts, product knowledge and a passion for shopping across fashion, beauty and lifestyle. They will have their finger on the pulse of the fashion landscape – from luxury and emerging designers to high‑street, accessories and seasonal trends – with a clear point of view on the products, brands and trends that matter to the Vogue reader. They will be skilled at translating this knowledge into distinctive, authoritative shopping service journalism that both attracts an audience and drives purchase. The role will identify new franchises, categories and emerging shopping trends, while helping to edit and optimise fashion shopping content produced by writers and contributors. As an extension of the wider editorial team, they will work closely with Vogue’s fashion, market, editorial, creative and audience teams to ensure shopping coverage reflects and complements the wider editorial conversation.

They will use affiliate performance, SEO, traffic, purchasing and conversion data to inform future stories and identify opportunities for growth through strategic commissioning and content planning, while developing new ways to engage audiences with commerce-driven storytelling across Vogue’s digital platforms – from articles and newsletters to social and editor‑led UGC. The role will have clear responsibility for contributing to British Vogue’s affiliate revenue targets. Our Senior Shopping Writers are expected to understand the metrics that drive revenue, including Click Through Rate, Conversion Rate, Average Order Value and Commission Rate (CPA), and use these insights to inform editorial decisions, identify new opportunities and optimise commercial performance. Previous experience creating commerce content that has driven meaningful revenue is highly desirable. The successful candidate will be highly organised, collaborative and confident writing, commissioning and editing exceptional shopping content, from product guides and reviews to round‑ups and new editorial franchises. They will ensure British Vogue’s archive of shopping content remains up to date, authoritative and optimised for search, affiliate performance and e‑commerce best practice, while using regular reporting, insights and performance analysis to help shape future editorial strategy.

An enthusiasm for bringing Vogue Shopping’s fashion authority to life across social, newsletters and video is essential. The role will work closely with an extensive cross‑functional network, including editorial, fashion, creative, Audience Development, partnerships and data analytics, to deliver against editorial, revenue and profit objectives. This is a rare opportunity to join one of the world’s most influential fashion titles and play an important role in the continued growth and evolution of British Vogue Shopping.
