Journalism Job

Media Organization: Hunker

Company Description

Leaf Group is a diversified consumer internet company that builds enduring, creator-driven brands that reach passionate audiences in large and growing lifestyle categories, including fitness and wellness (Well+Good, Livestrong.com and MyPlate App), and home, art and design (Saatchi Art, Society6 and Hunker).

Job Description

Hunker believes good design should be a part of everyday life—and that you don’t have to be an expert to make it happen.

We are looking for an Associate Commerce Editor to produce engaging shopping-related content.

A big vision calls for a big job. As we grow, our need for an Associate Commerce Editor grows with us. LA based candidates preferred.

Leaf Group is a house of brands, creating and cultivating digital-first companies in growing lifestyle categories: Fitness & Wellness (Well+Good, Livestrong.com); Home & Decor (Hunker, Society6, Deny Designs), and Art & Design (Saatchi Art, The Other Art Fair). Additionally, we have performance focused brands in key categories such as Travel, Pets, and DIY (OnlyInYourState, Cuteness, eHow). Our media and marketplace brands are authentic and authoritative, reaching a large and growing passionate audience.

We work in a fun, collaborative environment that is diverse, adventurous, and open-minded. We look for proactive, accountable people focused on continuous learning and growth to push themselves and our businesses forward. Check us out here.

You’ll Report To: Senior Commerce Editor

A typical day as an Associate Commerce Editor might include:

Writing pieces with an evergreen focus such as “Best of” lists of “Best Places to Buy X”, titles geared toward performing via search traffic.
Writing pieces with a shopping focus, ranging from shopping lists, retailer news, or design advice with a shopping slant.
Pitching and brainstorming new titles, series, and ideas to live across multiple platforms.
Conducting market research and outreach to new and relevant brands.
Participating in production of shopping-related Instagram Stories.
Updating old content with fresh links.
Monitoring analytics and data to jump on successes and come up with new strategies for increasing readership and revenue.

You’ll be successful if you can figure out how to marry great taste and ideas with content that can drive affiliate revenue.

What You Have:

2-3 years experience writing, assigning, and editing digital content in a fast-paced environment.
Experience writing in the decor/home/design space preferred, but experience writing in a lifestyle-adjacent category is a must.
Huge plus if you have previous commerce and/or SEO experience.
You should have a good working knowledge of the major players in the decor space, including: interior designers, bloggers/DIYers, influencers, publications, and shops/brands (both major and independent).
Excellent verbal and written communication.
Not afraid to wear multiple hats - no job being too small or too large.
We're casual and informal but we work hard and work responsibly. Personal accountability goes a long way. We believe we are the change.
