The Beauty & Style Group is seeking a Commerce Updates Writer to write and update beauty and style product roundups and reviews.

As the group's Commerce Updates Writer, you will be responsible for writing and updating researched and testing-based roundups in the beauty and style category. We are looking for someone who can create quality content and that thrives in a fast-paced environment.

About Your Contributions
• Audit content using competitor analysis, marketplace knowledge, and internal data (tested insights, for instance) to produce meaningful updates that help keep our content current.
• Update existing lists and write new content for the Beauty and Style Group, maintaining high-quality standards along the way.
• Research and write supplemental content like what to look for, pros/cons, buying guides, and more. This may involve conducting interviews and gathering original quotes that support the commerce content funnel.

• Research new products and trends, as well as competitor picks, to make sure we're making the best recommendations to our readers.
• Analyze market trends to discover the best beauty and style launches, and make conclusions about what makes them press-worthy.

• A personal interest in all things beauty and style, an eye for products, and the know-how to provide the reader with different options that suit their needs. Although a beauty and fashion background is not necessary, knowledge of how to write about these topics as well as industry trends is a plus.
• Strong copywriter, capable of writing engaging, lively headlines and blurbs, all the while keeping the voice of our Beauty and Style brands, values, style, and audience in mind.
• Demonstrated commitment to using inclusive language and making sure copy speaks to all populations.
• Self-starter who wants to work for a growing company.
