  • Confident in tastemaking, which will be used to update and/or edit maps, research and write dining reports, write newsletters, and more.
  • Experienced with editing news and service coverage.
  • Ability to break news and write insightful service-oriented features about your region's dining scene is preferred.
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 all Eater 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.
