We are: CNET en Español. We are a small team working within CNET.com (the world’s No. 1 tech news and reviews site) to launch the most comprehensive, timely, and engaging technology news, reviews, and advice on the planet, custom-written for the U.S. Spanish-speaking audience.

We work with a team of more than 90 of the world’s best journalists to hunt down the best tech, then tell our readers and viewers how to incorporate technology into their lives. We live tech, and then we write, translate, and produce compelling, informative product reviews, articles, and videos.

You are: A creative, tech-obsessed, English/Spanish bilingual journalist ready to try anything. As part of our charter editorial team for CNET en Español, you will be responsible for reviewing products with wit and flair, writing technology news and original commentary, creating slideshows, confidently presenting products in videos, developing buying advice and features, and translating some content from English very quickly. We’re looking for an independent thinker, a creative writer, and a natural storyteller who is passionate about technology and loves the idea of bringing that passion to others. You will build strong working relationships with your peers, customers, users and all levels management.

Other duties steering content through the editing and production process, working with the CNET.com team on content development, and developing a following on CNET and on social media. On-camera experience isn’t essential, but the position will require filming First Look videos and occasional media appearances. Some travel is necessary, particularly to industry events, trade shows, and product launches where you’ll be required to write news stories, appear in product videos, and shoot photos.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Translate, write, and pitch consumer tech reviews, news stories, and appropriate companion content
Write scripts and star in videos to accompany your posts
Maintain an active and engaging presence across major social media platforms
Maintain and cultivate contacts with all beat-appropriate product vendors
