About The Position

Penske Media Corporation (PMC) is hiring an E-Commerce Writer to create shoppable content for Rolling Stone, Billboard, The Hollywood Reporter, Variety, and Women’s Wear Daily. The role involves writing daily deal posts, “best of” lists, gift guides, and in-depth reviews of products available to shop online. Coverage interests include consumer technology, collectibles, fashion, and streaming. This is strictly an e-commerce position, not an entertainment reporting position.

The writer will produce 10–15 pieces of shoppable content per week and update existing content to reflect product launches and trends. The role requires proposing product reviews and roundups, writing snappy copy that follows SEO best practices, and creating start-to-finish content in the CMS, including adding photos and affiliate links. The writer will work with the managing editor and e-commerce team, develop relationships with industry PR representatives, and attend local and national industry events as needed to provide live coverage.

PMC describes its work environment as collaborative and office-first. Employees work onsite four days per week and remotely one day per week; PMC does not offer remote-only roles.
