Assistant Editor

We are a financial wellness platform for millennials. I am a former NYU Journalism grad, so I'd love to have an undergraduate/graduate for the fall semester. I worked at women's glossy magazines for most of my career, the longest stint at Glamour for 10 years.

This is a faced-paced start up environment. You will learn a lot on the job about working with a team of writers and helping me (Chief Content Officer) with day-to-day operations. There is an opportunity to write, be involved with user experience, and contribute to the overall growth of the company.

There is occasional 'boring' work, too, but I want to make sure this is a good learning and resume builder. Best thing: if you do well as a for-credit intern you will be eligible for a paid internship the following semester.
