The senior features editor’s primary role will be to support the editor-in-chief in establishing and maintaining brand standards in large and small ways—from top-level reviews before publication to developing and editing articles throughout the production process.

• Oversee all longform articles, mentoring junior editors and freelance contributors as needed
• Work closely with the editor-in-chief and managing editor to ensure that all copy deadlines are met
• Consistently apply successful techniques and pivot approach as needed
Requirements:
• Bachelor's degree or relevant experience
• Excellent line editing and copywriting skills
• Flair for producing shareable, digital-friendly web and mobile content, taking trends and audience response into consideration
• Interest in both pop and under-the-radar culture
• Strong eye for stylish, functional design and a familiarity with trends and best practices
• Familiarity with social media management tools, analytics tools, and SEO best practices
• Desire and ability to work in a fast-paced environment
