We’re looking for a dynamic and creative Entertainment Editor based in North America to lead our coverage of pop culture, influencers, and the viral moments everyone’s talking about.

 

This is a key role in shaping Dexerto’s entertainment output – and we want someone who’s just as obsessed with what’s happening on X, TikTok, YouTube, Twitch, and Instagram as they are with getting stories out fast and flawlessly.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Sourcing original, engaging news stories around pop culture, celebrities, influencers, and viral internet trends
     
  • Writing and sub-editing sharp, entertaining news articles that appeal to a broad online audience
     
  • Interviewing key figures to get exclusive quotes and build standout content
     
  • Approving and shaping pitches from colleagues, helping guide content direction and standards
     
  • Collaborating with writers and social media teams to ensure stories are packaged perfectly for platforms like X, Facebook, Instagram, and more
     
  • Challenging ideas constructively and mentoring writers to improve quality
     
  • Bringing fresh, creative ideas to the table — we’re looking for someone who can think beyond the usual and help Dexerto reach new audiences

What We’re Looking For:

  • Proven experience writing and editing entertainment or internet culture news
     
  • Strong knowledge of viral stories, content creators, celebrities, and social media platforms
     
  • Excellent news judgment, a flair for headlines, and the instinct to know what will go big
     
  • An eye for quality and the confidence to reject stories that don’t hit the mark
     
  • Creative thinking and the ability to pitch new formats and storytelling ideas
     
  • A personable, collaborative attitude – with the backbone to lead editorial standards

What You Won’t Be Doing:

  • Covering politics, war, or serious current affairs — this role is all about fun, buzzworthy stories that entertain and inform

Why Join Dexerto?

  • Work with a fast-moving, passionate team that’s defining how digital entertainment is covered
     
  • Help shape the editorial voice of a leading entertainment and influencer-focused outlet
     
  • Remote flexibility with the opportunity to make a big impact on a global platform
