Job Details

Dexerto is the leading voice in influencer culture, gaming, and online entertainment — reaching millions every month with sharp, engaging content about the internet’s biggest names and trends.

 

We’re looking for a sharp, creative, and confident Senior Entertainment Writer to join our growing team — someone who lives and breathes online culture and can deliver compelling stories that capture the attention of global audiences.

We want someone who’s obsessed with what’s happening on X, TikTok, YouTube, Twitch, and Instagram as they are with getting stories out fast and flawlessly.

 

This isn’t just a writing job. We’re looking for someone with excellent editorial instincts, a strong voice, and the courage to pitch bold ideas, challenge weaker copy, and help raise the bar across the team.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Writing standout news stories and features on influencers, celebrities, and viral internet trends
     
  • Pitching original and timely ideas that align with Dexerto’s tone and audience
     
  • Sourcing stories through social media, tip-offs, and trend tracking
     
  • Interviewing key figures in entertainment and online culture to get exclusive angles
     
  • Sub-editing and sharpening content for clarity, tone, and engagement
     
  • Offering constructive feedback to colleagues on story ideas, headlines, and copy
     
  • Collaborating with editors and social media teams to ensure stories are well-packaged for platforms like X, Facebook, and Instagram

What We’re Looking For:

  • A proven track record in entertainment or internet culture journalism
     
  • Strong knowledge of the creator economy, viral trends, and online personalities
     
  • An instinct for what makes a story engaging, clickable, and shareable
     
  • Ability to self-start, work at pace, and consistently pitch standout ideas
     
  • Confident editorial judgment — you're not afraid to speak up when a story could be better
     
  • A personable team player who raises the game for everyone around them

What You Won’t Be Doing:

  • Covering politics, world news, or heavy current affairs — this is all about fun, buzzy content people want to read and share

Why Join Dexerto?

  • Be part of a forward-thinking media team at the heart of internet entertainment
     
  • Work remotely with the flexibility to focus on your strengths and creativity
     
  • Have your stories seen by millions and play a key role in shaping Dexerto’s entertainment voice

How to Apply
Please send us a covering letter explaining how your experience, skills, and knowledge make you the right fit for this role — along with your CV. We want to hear why you’re excited about Dexerto and how you’d contribute to our entertainment coverage.
