Apartmenttherapy
Apartment Therapy was originally launched in 2001 by interior designer Maxwell Ryan (nicknamed “The Apartment Therapist”) as a weekly newsletter for clients. We officially became an independently‑owned company in 2004, and since then Apartment Therapy Media has grown to become the only media group dedicated to life at home. We are committed to teaching our audience real‑life solutions by giving them tools to create happy, healthy homes through our award‑winning brands: Apartment Therapy, The Kitchn, Cubby, and Dorm Therapy. Together, our portfolio engages a monthly audience of 47 million users across platforms, while our dedicated team of over 140 professionals collaborates from our sunny New York City office and locations across the U.S. and around the globe.
Apartment Therapy is looking for a Home Projects Editor to join our Home Hub team, which includes Home Projects, Style, and House Tours content. This editor‑level role reports to the House Tours Director and will be a key driver of one of Apartment Therapy’s most iconic and high‑performing franchises: Before + Afters.
The Home Projects Editor will own the day‑to‑day creation, strategy, and process behind our Before + After content, producing a high volume of stories each week while also shaping how the franchise evolves over time. This role is ideal for a strong writer‑editor who is equally excited about editorial storytelling and operational excellence — someone who can think big‑picture while executing quickly and consistently.
This is primarily a writing role, with the focus on writing and publishing 5–7 original home projects Before + Afters per week and refining workflows that support scale, quality, and traffic growth.
Responsibilities
Own the full Before + After pipeline, from scouting and sourcing to interviewing, writing, editing, and publishing
Write and publish 5–7 Before + After stories per week, maintaining Apartment Therapy’s editorial standards, voice, and service‑driven approach
Independently conduct interviews, manage Formstack questionnaires, and handle transcription and asset delivery and permission coordination
Develop and maintain clear processes and systems that support consistency, efficiency, and growth across the franchise
Work closely with the Home Hub team to maximize content scouting and collection to support a united approach to covering home tours
Own performance goals for the Before + After vertical, using traffic data and editorial insights to guide story selection, framing, and packaging
Monitor trends in home projects, renovations, renter makeovers, and DIY to proactively source timely, high‑performing stories
Be active and adept at social media platforms to be able to find the coolest before and after projects and trends before anyone else
Regularly ideate new formats, angles, and evolutions of the Before + After franchise to keep it fresh, competitive, and Discover‑friendly
Partner closely with the House Tours Director to refine strategy, pacing, and long‑term vision for the vertical
Work cross‑functionally with audience development, SEO, visuals, and other teams to optimize performance and storytelling
Requirements
3–5 years of experience writing and/or editing in digital media or publishing, ideally within home projects, DIY, home design or lifestyle
Demonstrated experience writing and editing Before + After or related transformation‑based stories
A strong, confident editorial voice with the ability to adapt to Apartment Therapy’s tone across platforms
Proven ability to write a high output of stories without sacrificing quality
Strong editorial judgment and an instinct for what makes a home project compelling and serviceable
Experience using analytics tools such as Parse.ly and Google Analytics to inform editorial strategy
Excellent writing, organizational and time‑management skills, with the ability to juggle multiple workflows at once
Comfort owning processes, improving systems, and working independently while collaborating across teams
A flexible, solutions‑oriented mindset and the ability to adapt quickly to shifting priorities
Salary Range: $70,000 – 75,000 annually
The above represents the expected salary range for this role. Ultimately, compensation is determined by level of experience and other job‑related factors.

All employment decisions are based on business needs, job requirements and individual qualifications, without regard to race, gender identity, orientation, religion, parental status or any other status protected by the laws or regulations in the locations where we operate.
