Business Insider is looking for an editor to join the Life and Entertainment Freelance team and help brainstorm, edit, and package stories from our growing network of writers.
This person will report to Paige DiFiore and work with BI’s in-house Lifestyle and Entertainment Freelance team to pitch, assign, commission, and edit stories from our growing network of freelancers and prepare them for publication.
The lifestyle team works on hits such as peeks inside luxury hotels, essays about life-changing moves and travel mistakes, grocery-store diaries from writers around the globe, tips from flight attendants, epic food reviews, advice from home renovations, unique stories from people in unconventional living situations, and much more.
The team also produces longer lead stories that have awards potential, including a look into corporate men’s secret beauty secrets, a touching essay on traveling while gay, and a deep dive into how theme parks aren’t built for midsize and plus-size fans.
This editor will also be able to recruit new writers, brainstorm dynamic story framings, and determine what to cover next and how best to do so. Stories range from 600-word posts to listicles to essays and features.
The ideal candidate has excellent news judgment, superb editing skills, and an excitement for high-velocity, high-engagement storytelling. Each lifestyle freelance editor publishes about 30-40 stories a month.
