Reporting to the Wellness Editor, the ideal candidate is plugged into the world of health and wellness and brimming with ideas. You must be a self‑starter who can juggle a mix of reporting, writing and editing, working under deadline while still maintaining close attention to detail.

Assist the Wellness Editor in editing stories by Wellness Reporters.
Help execute brand partnerships, including liaising with brand representatives, writing copy, and seeing content through the print production process.
Think strategically about the daily news cycle to identify stories that will generate traffic, drive engagement and generally get people talking.
Understand The Post’s voice and point of view to reach readers with important and relevant health information.
Requirements
At least 3 years of experience as an editor in an online news environment, ideally focused on health and wellness.
Proficiency in digital strategy, analytics and SEO best practices and tools.
Experience managing and mentoring reporters of varying experience levels.
Excellent judgment as to what drives audiences across various digital platforms.
