The Opportunity:
Popular Photography is looking for a consumer-tech editor to help build the brand’s product reviews coverage. The Associate Editor will be a key player in ramping up product testing, guides, reviews, gift guides, roundups, how-tos, and deals. The ideal candidate is someone who is up to speed on (and perhaps even obsessed with) the latest and greatest photo and video gear, accessories, and general consumer tech. They should have a strong grasp on the products and innovations that have defined the landscape over the past decade and a keen eye for emerging trends and new categories. We want someone who’s as comfortable editing expert-written buying guides and reviews as they are digging in and testing a lens, camera, or backpack.
The Associate Editor will report to the Senior Gear Editor, but will collaborate with other team members, our SEO specialists, and our commerce team. PopPhoto is part of Recurrent Ventures, a virtual-first workplace with offices in New York, Miami, and San Francisco.
The Responsibilities:
The Associate Editor will be a key stakeholder in growing a new dedicated team focused on helping PopPhoto readers separate the “good” gear from the “great.” They’ll manage a stable of contributors to assign, write, and edit product reviews, buyer’s guides, how-to stories, and more. In close collaboration with the SEO and commerce teams, they’ll work to optimize the reviews program and overall product coverage to reach the most people, identify new coverage areas, and develop innovative on-brand approaches to expanded product coverage.
The Qualifications:
- At least 2 years of experience editing and assigning consumer technology coverage, specifically camera and video gear and accessories
- Experience with hands-on product testing
- Experience managing freelance contributors preferred
- Familiarity with SEO best practices and optimization
- A proven ability to deliver high-quality product coverage on tight deadlines
The Person:
- An ace editor, who’s as good on the line as they are at assessing structure
- A creative thinker, able to develop and execute story formats on multiple platforms
- An early adopter, who’s always on the lookout for the next great gizmo and who can sort marketing fluff from real innovation
- A problem solver, who delivers feedback as gracefully as they receive it
The Benefits & Perks:
- Medical, dental, vision & life insurance
- Unlimited PTO
- Remote – work from anywhere!
- Offices in Miami, San Francisco, New York, San Diego
- Parental leave
- Matching 401k
- Equity package
