Specific Knowledge, Skills And Abilities

• Strong organization skills are necessary to succeed in this role. Candidates must be able to track miniscule details (like invoices and deadlines) efficiently without losing sight of the bigger picture. Intermediate Excel/Google Sheets experience (or excitement to learn!) is mandatory.
• You’re a service-oriented editor with integrity: It excites you to answer real beauty questions like “how to treat hormonal acne” in a clear, accurate, and inclusive way as much as it excites you to interview Jennifer Aniston.
• At least 2 years of experience writing and/or editing for a major beauty publication(s).
• A general understanding of SEO and ability to pivot effectively as best-practices evolve. You can act now and get the full context later.
• A strong visual sense—you can look at the Byrdie homepage and understand how our unique visual style differentiates from the broader industry.
