Job description

PMC: E-Commerce Writer

Penske Media is hiring an E-commerce Writer to create shoppable content for Rolling Stone, Billboard, The Hollywood Reporter, Variety and Women's Wear Daily. In this role, the writer will write daily deal posts, \"best of\" lists, gift guides and in-depth reviews on the latest products available to shop online.

The ideal candidate will have experience writing e-commerce content as well as a demonstrated interest in covering consumer tech, collectibles, fashion and streaming. You should know when Hilary Duff is about to launch her next candle collection and when Apple, Dyson and Samsung are about to drop new products.

Experience with affiliate networks, link tracking platforms and SEO tools is a must, as is a knowledge of the entertainment and retail industries. This prospective writer should be brimming with great pitches for product reviews and roundups, with snappy copy that incorporates SEO best practices.

While you will be joining a small team, the ability to work independently is important, as is the ability to juggle multiple assignments and deadlines at once. We are looking for a writer with keen attention to detail, who is deadline-oriented and can create start-to-finish content (including loading photos and affiliate links) into our CMS.

Note: this is strictly an e-commerce position and not an entertainment reporting position.

As PMC values in-person collaboration and team cohesion, employees work onsite 4 days a week and 1 day remotely with a focus on maintaining a vibrant and inclusive culture.

Responsibilities

• Write and produce 10-15 pieces of shoppable content roundups per week, featuring the latest products that will resonate with the PMC readers
• Update existing content ensuring that the latest product launches and trends are reflected
• Work closely with the managing editor and e-commerce team to prioritize a mixture of content updates and new assignments while meeting daily and weekly deadlines
• Develop relationships with PR reps in the industry
• Attend local and national industry events, as needed, to offer live coverage

Qualifications

• Minimum of 2-3 years of professional experience in e-commerce writing
• Daily experience working within a CMS (familiarity with WordPress preferred)
• Proficiency with Photoshop or other image editing software
• Proven track record of executing revenue-driving articles and campaigns

If hired, employee will be in an \"at-will position\" and the Company reserves the right to modify base salary (as well as any other discretionary payment or compensation program) at any time, including for reasons related to individual performance, Company or individual department/team performance, and market factors).

A good faith estimate of the salary is $70k. Factors that could be used to determine your actual salary may include your specific skills, years of experience and comparison to current employees already in this role.
