About The Position
As part of Eater’s mission to build the world’s best restaurant recommendation platform, our Dining team shapes restaurant coverage that helps readers decide where to eat — and why it matters. In this role, you’ll create engaging, trustworthy stories that reflect Eater’s voice and values. You'll hone your voice as a guide and tastemaker for New York, demonstrating local authority while ensuring our work reaches audiences where they are and makes an impact. All staffers at Eater work across Eater’s umbrella of brands (Eater, Punch, Pre Shift, Thrillist) on a variety of platforms (on-site, social video, newsletter, the app, and more), should be comfortable dining out for work and filing dining reports afterward, and should be willing to participate in social video, including potentially appearing on camera. Additionally, staffers are expected to represent Eater at industry events, brand events, and media and press opportunities.

- Responsible for engaging with audiences across social media, newsletters, and Reddit, including responding to comments, fostering conversation, and maintaining brand voice across platforms.
- Manage newsletter programs, under the direction and strategy of Dining Editorial Manager, including building newsletters in Sailthru and Substack, adapting editorial content for newsletters, basic analytical skills, and inbox management.
