Associate Digital Producer (L.A./Nights)
PEOPLE is looking for a talented associate digital producer who can write and build engaging, dynamic content with the Gen Z audience in mind. We want a journalist with excellent writing skills, who can deliver clean, accurate copy quickly. They must also have a multimedia vision of how to present news to readers who are addicted to TikTok and Instagram, a perpetually busy audience that wants to be entertained and informed at the same time. They should be skilled at crafting headlines optimized for social.
The right candidate will be steeped in the PEOPLE brand and how we tell compelling stories. We want someone who is curious and enthusiastic, who is obsessed with all things pop culture and can’t wait to explain the latest trend or hot topic.
They should be able to quickly break down complex stories, whether it’s reporting on Diddy’s legal issues or Sabrina Carpenter’s outros. An impeccable news instinct is expected; social media experience is a big plus. At least two years experience writing for a digital news organization in a high-velocity environment is required. Experience at a national news brand is preferred.
