PMC: E-Commerce Writer

Penske Media • Los Angeles, CA

2d • $70,500 • Hybrid

About The Position

Penske Media is hiring an E-commerce Writer to create shoppable content for Rolling Stone, Billboard, The Hollywood Reporter, Variety and Women’s Wear Daily. In this role, the writer will write daily deal posts, “best of” lists, gift guides and in-depth reviews on the latest products available to shop online. The ideal candidate will have experience writing e-commerce content as well as a demonstrated interest in covering consumer tech, collectibles, fashion and streaming. You should know when Hilary Duff is about to launch her next candle collection and when Apple, Dyson and Samsung are about to drop new products. Experience with affiliate networks, link tracking platforms and SEO tools is a must, as is a knowledge of the entertainment and retail industries. This prospective writer should be brimming with great pitches for product reviews and roundups, with snappy copy that incorporates SEO best practices. While you will be joining a small team, the ability to work independently is important, as is the ability to juggle multiple assignments and deadlines at once. We are looking for a writer with keen attention to detail, who is deadline-oriented and can create start-to-finish content (including loading photos and affiliate links) into our CMS. Note: this is strictly an e-commerce position and not an entertainment reporting position.
