The Role 

Are you the person in your family or friend group everyone else turns to for shopping recommendations? Do you always score the best deals on the best products? Come join our growing team! The HuffPost Shopping team’s mission is to provide a service to our audience by carefully curating shopping content, ultimately minimizing the work readers need to do to find products and services that will help them lead better lives. Our readers are smart, educated consumers who want to put their hard-earned money to good use (while having fun, too). We use loads of product research, expert sourcing, brand discovery, product testing and data analytics. Our goal is to turn HuffPost into a shopping destination people return to regularly, because we’ve established trust with our readers through our devotion to quality, authenticity and diversity. We strive to combine spot-on product curation with an entertaining and informative writing style and trustworthy recommendations, so even if the products aren’t right for a reader, they can click away feeling like their time was well-spent.

We are looking for a writer for a full-time position on this team. The ideal candidate is an experienced and conversational writer and editor with proven skill in consumer- and shopping-related or other lifestyle content. If you're the type of person who's constantly discovering amazing new products, major deals and noteworthy new brands, we'd love to hear from you!

You Will 

• Write shareable, unique product roundups as well as SEO-friendly shopping guides and reviews.
• Research products in various categories and price points that are of interest to the HuffPost audience.
• Track and analyze your posts' site traffic and affiliate analytics in order to strategically pitch new ideas
• Stay on top of current news and trends to pitch and write timely stories that readers are interested in at that very moment

You Have

• Previous shopping / eCommerce writing experience OR equivalent experience with other kinds of service journalism 
• Previous experience with affiliate data and networks a plus 
• Strong knowledge and interest in the following areas: Food/drink, style, beauty, wellness, fitness, health, work/life, travel, home, pets and parenting.
• Attention to detail
• Genuine love for the internet and online shopping 
• Firm understanding of the HuffPost audience and voice

FYI — just because you don’t meet every requirement doesn’t mean we don’t want to hear from you. If you think you’d be a good fit for the job anyway, use your application to show us why!

All job applications must be received through the official BuzzFeed Jobs board (https://www.buzzfeed.com/about/jobs), including referrals. It is BuzzFeed's practice to not schedule job interviews until after an application is submitted through our jobs board.
