Audience Editor, Northeast, Eater Job at Vox Media in Washington

Overview

As part of Eater’s mission to build the world’s best restaurant recommendation platform, our Dining team shapes restaurant coverage that helps readers decide where to eat — and why it matters. In this role, you’ll create engaging, trustworthy stories that reflect Eater’s voice and values. You'll hone your voice as a guide and tastemaker for New York, demonstrating local authority while ensuring our work reaches audiences where they are and makes an impact.

All staffers at Eater work across Eater’s umbrella of brands (Eater, Punch, Pre Shift, Thrillist) on a variety of platforms (on-site, social video, newsletter, the app, and more), should be comfortable dining out for work and filing dining reports afterward, and should be willing to participate in social video, including potentially appearing on camera. Additionally, staffers are expected to represent Eater at industry events, brand events, and media and press opportunities.

What You’ll Do

• Produce, edit, and distribute social video, with enthusiasm and creativity — willingness to appear on camera is a must.
• Write and edit engaging copy for both Eater’s website and social platforms, with an understanding of how tone and visuals differ across platforms (Instagram, Reels, Facebook, Threads, TikTok, BlueSky, and others).
• Responsible for engaging with audiences across social media, newsletters, and Reddit, including responding to comments, fostering conversation, and maintaining brand voice across platforms.
• Manage newsletter programs, under the direction and strategy of Dining Editorial Manager, including building newsletters in Sailthru and Substack, adapting editorial content for newsletters, basic analytical skills, and inbox management.
• Willingness and ability to dine out for work-related research, including outside of work hours.

Who You Are

• Proficient in Photoshop to create visually engaging carousels and high-touch social media posts.
• Skills in executing social video (including confidence and poise appearing on camera) and producing audience-focused storytelling on platforms such as Instagram.
• Skills in tastemaking, which will be used to update and/or edit maps, research and write dining reports, etc.
• Ability to break news and write insightful service-oriented features about your region’s dining scene is preferred.
• Experience editing news and service coverage is a plus.
