• Write fashion articles; interview experts, ensure market selections meet diversity goals, work with affiliates, translate any industry jargon into a clear takeaway for the reader
• Collaborate with art and photo teams to help produce fashion layouts
• Help work with the business team on advertising/marketing partnerships and projects as necessary
• Take market appointments and represent Cosmo at press appointments/events/trips when schedule permits
• Help create social media content (Instagram, TikTok, etc.) when necessary, to bring our content to life beyond print and the website
• Take the lead if needed on projects such as newsletters, social media packages, etc.

Who you are:
• You have about 3 years of post-grad experience editing and/or writing for a publication, with a particular emphasis on fashion content; cross-platform experience is a plus

• You have strong reporting skills; a degree in journalism is a plus
• You are a true multi-tasker who can work under deadlines (including super tight ones)
