Dotdash Meredith is looking for a highly motivated and digitally savvy, full-time Associate Commerce Editor to join the news/deals travel vertical, working on Travel + Leisure. This role will balance writing content — covering timely, travel-related shopping content, including sale roundups, celebrity-approved items, single product reviews, and first-person roundups — with helping to edit copy from on-staff members and freelance contributors. The ideal candidate is a self-starter who is passionate about travel and commerce-focused stories and who can create quality content and thrive in a fast-paced environment.

The associate editor supports our editors with onboarding and managing freelancer relationships, assists with promotions of News & Deals commerce content across social platforms, and works with our writer on content promotions in our T+L Recommends newsletter.

The associate editor should have some past writing and editing experience (ideally in the commerce space), be a creative problem solver, and work quickly to pivot and propose potential solutions to create the best commerce content. This role will need to work in the Dotdash Meredith CMS, as well as on Airtable, Slack, Google Suites, SEMrush, Parsley, and Looker.

The Associate Commerce Editor reports to the Senior Editor on T+L’s news/deals team. You’ll be expected to follow guidelines for updates, brand voice, and standards, as well as ensure our news/deals commerce content is accurate, inclusive, comprehensive, and accessible to all readers.
