Reporting to our Senior Social Media Editor, this dynamic role plays a part in strategic content scheduling across platforms, formulating insightful data reports, and engaging the audience through community management.

Around 50 years ago, the editors of a magazine called Travel & Camera made a big leap forward, embracing not just photography, but the entire world.

Today, we reach more than 16 million travelers every month, and our team includes a network of hundreds of writers and photographers across the globe, all providing a local eye on the best places to stay, eat, see, and explore.

We are focusing our hiring efforts on diversity, equity, and inclusion and building a team that reflects our dedication to these principles at every level of our organization.
