The Role 

BuzzFeed News is looking for a motivated health writer to join our team to write and report about wellness-related consumer products.

You are creative and versatile when it comes to covering health in the affiliate space and have experience with reporting and writing about health and fitness products. An idea-generating whiz, you'll create content that can benefit people's sex lives, wellness, workouts, meal prep, parenting, and more.

Whether you are trying products out yourself or recommending them based on expert opinion, you have a laser-like focus on telling the truth, including both the pros and cons of any product you are reviewing or recommending.

You will follow strict editorial guidelines — our product and service recommendations are made with journalistic independence — to make sure we are producing high-quality and reliable content and recommending trustworthy products, brands, and retailers.

You will report to our Health Editor, who is based in New York. While a New York City-based candidate is our preferred choice, remote candidates will also be considered.

You Will 

  • Create affiliate content that aligns with the health desk strategy
  • Interview relevant experts in the field 
  • Research, test, and write about products.
  • Stay up-to-date on trends and new products hitting the market
  • Be data-driven, keeping an eye on metrics and analytics tools to measure success
  • Be ahead of the rest. Spotting trends early, you're eager to jump on health and wellness trends and find helpful products that people need before they even know they need them
  • Report affiliate stories in a way that's accurate, nuanced, and inclusive
  • Be collaborative with other team members, including our visuals and social team, to help create truly outstanding work that is eye-catching and shareable

You Have

  • 3+ years experience covering health at a news or major media outlet. Affiliate experience. However, if you have more (or less) experience, please apply. We are willing to train someone  who might not have a specific amount of years or type of experience.
  • A familiarity (or willingness to learn) about smart optimization of content regarding SEO and engagement on social media platforms.
  • Incredible attention to detail, and are a stickler about getting the facts right.
  • Experience interviewing experts to offer advice on health-related products
  • A collaborative approach but also able to jump on important tasks when needed, and open to direction.
