Job Description

We are looking for a new member to join us in New York to work on content for the magazine, the website, social media, and other channels. We are a small team that does big things and have a flat organizational structure. So, depending on your skills and experience, we can basically offer you the full range of content disciplines, from supporting senior staff to covering new product releases, reviews and conducting interviews to writing features for the magazine and covering events.

Huge plus if you already maintain your own blog or active social media page and know how to work with a camera. In short, we are looking for someone who lives and breathes great, engaging content, wants to work in a fully integrated print and digital multi-discipline team and grow with us.
