Dorsia•Miami, FL

8d•$80,000 - $95,000•Onsite

About The Position

Dorsia is seeking a Culture Editor to own our Culture Calendar, a dedicated section of the Dorsia app combining a curated global guide to events in art, fashion, design, architecture, and music with original interviews and features. You’ll identify the events worth our members’ attention, keep listings accurate and current, and develop original coverage for the app, social, and our monthly Culture Edit newsletter. You bring strong editorial judgment, a distinct voice, and an established network of artists, designers, musicians, luxury sports figures, and cultural insiders. You’re a versatile writer who can deliver sharp copy, substantive interviews, concise cultural recommendations, party reports, and neighborhood guides with local insight. You know how to find a story, ask informed questions, and move beyond an announcement to explain why something matters. You’re equally comfortable conducting engaging interviews and commissioning a creative to make an exclusive playlist for Dorsia’s Spotify. You know what good looks like. Dorsia embraces AI and automation across the business. You’ll use these tools throughout your workflow: supporting research, interview preparation, transcription, brainstorming, editing, organization, and repeatable calendar operations. Original editorial will be grounded in your reporting, writing, access, and point of view. You’ll also work closely with product and engineering to improve the systems behind the Culture Calendar.

3-5 years of editorial experience in culture publishing, luxury media, new media, or a brand editorial team, with the ability to work independently.
A portfolio of published cultural reporting that demonstrates original interviews, strong writing, editorial judgment, and a distinct voice.
Regular, hands-on use of AI and automation in editorial work, with examples of how you’ve applied these tools to improve your work
An established network that helps you secure interviews and contributors, discover stories, and understand cultural scenes in multiple international cities.
Deep knowledge of one or more of our core disciplines across art, fashion, design, architecture, and music, with a curiosity across the others.
The ability to distinguish a compelling story from a promotional announcement and explain its relevance to Dorsia’s members.
Experience managing an events calendar, listings database, or content catalog with accuracy and attention to detail.
Fluency in Notion and comfort working in a content management system, including testing features and communicating issues to product and engineering.
Strong project management skills and clear, confident communication with creatives, partners, and colleagues.
