Senior Fashion Editor

Job Description

Your Impact:

The Senior Fashion Editor will work on fashion-led content programs from pre-sale brainstorms through post-sale execution, conceptualizing, packaging, and writing or editing custom co-branded content. This person will work closely with site directors and social editors to ensure content feels authentic, engaging, and in-line with each site's editorial voice; as well as with project management, sales, and marketing teams to ensure we are delivering content that satisfies the clients' needs. The content must be as exciting, engaging, and as well-executed as pure edit. Please note: Candidates must include their resume in .pdf or .doc format with salary requirements to be considered.

What You'll Do:
• Assist the marketing team in conceiving of and refining ideas for branded content programs. These ideas must feel organic to each brand and fall within the parameters of what the client seeks.
• Be the editorial owner of campaigns from ideation to execution.
• Keep multiple, concurrent campaigns on deadline.
• Roll up your sleeves through every step of the content-production process, from line editing to working through client product priorities to pulling stock imagery.
• Collaborate with photo, video, and design departments to ensure each piece of content is cohesive, high-touch, and well-packaged.
• Partner with other internal teams (including editorial, marketing, and project management) to move complex, custom-content projects forward.
• Create and deliver content that best serves a client's mandate while remaining in-line with editorial best practices.
• Assist video producers in writing video scripts and graphics to ensure a cohesive voice across the program.

Who You Are:
• You have at least 6 years of post-grad editorial experience with a majority in the fashion space; prior branded content experience preferred, but not required.
• You have an equal passion for both luxury brands and mass market fashion retailers.
• You have strong relationships with fashion writers and creatives.
• You have exceptional editing, story packaging, and brainstorming skills-you should be an ideas machine and love to think big and strategically.
• You know how to package a story and understand the importance of visual elements.
• You are a quick thinker, flexible, and able to pivot as needed.
• You are energized by a mix of projects, from simple one-off articles to months-long production-heavy partnerships-and can gracefully juggle them all.
• You are a self-motivated, hands-on content creator who can work independently and is eager to follow through when you see a growth opportunity.
• You are a bridge-builder, able to work with teams that have different priorities but shared goals.

​​Preferred Experience:
• Pre- and post-sale client-partner campaigns and/or marketing work: responding to RFPs, pitching ideas, assigning stories, shepherding art and creative development, assisting with production, working with project managers, etc.
• Some production background: collaborating with creative leads on photo and video shoots.
• Building content in a publishing CMS.
• Some familiarity with eComm best practices and trends.
• Some knowledge of social products, trends, and best practices across popular platforms (primarily Instagram and TikTok).
