Overview

The Zoe Report is looking for a West Coast Editor to write, assign, and edit day-to-day content about all things fashion, beauty, celebrity, and lifestyle. The West Coast Editor will work closely with the Managing Editor to understand the needs and goals of the site so that he or she can run the site autonomously, when the East Coast team signs off. The West Coast Editor will be responsible for producing content about celebrity news, sales, product launches, product and brand news, industry news, and general lifestyle content that appeals to TZR’s audience via search and social platforms. Because the West Coast Editor will will be working PST hours while the other full-time staff will be working EST, they need to be comfortable working independently, as this is a remote position.
