Description

Position at Consumer Tech

CNET Group Editor I, Commerce

 

CNET Group — home to CNET, PCMag, Lifehacker, ZDNET and Mashable — is expanding its commerce content team, and we’re hiring a Commerce Editor based in India.

 

This person works quickly to ensure all new articles and updates meet or exceed our best practices, evaluating work for clean copy and proper adherence to template layouts, and publishing that work in a timely manner. 

 

The successful candidate is a self-starting, detail-oriented editor who will work closely with writers, editors, and leaders across the organization to ensure our brands publish work representative of our high standards. This person has experience overseeing and guiding writers, bringing out the best version of their work. They are also excellent writers themselves, who are willing to pitch in to write and update as needed. They partner well with others, and are adept at collaborating with colleagues and leaders across time zones.
To support real-time publishing and cross-functional coordination, this role involves collaboration with U.S.-based teams, with some flexibility required for sync hours and shared planning. 
This role requires original, human-generated work at all times. The use of any form of generative artificial intelligence (including but not limited to ChatGPT, Bard, Jasper, or other AI content or code generators) is strictly prohibited in the execution of job responsibilities. Any use of AI tools—whether for content creation, code generation, communication, data analysis, or other task execution—will be considered a serious violation of company policy.
Violation of this policy will result in immediate termination of employment

Job Responsibilities
  • Identify opportunity. You will carefully edit and examine all assigned work to ensure editorial best practices are being followed, looking for any and all avenues for adding value before publishing.
  • Demonstrate organization. Coordinate closely with the rest of the Commerce team to ensure current priorities are being supported, and all work is correctly documented within our internal tools.
  • Think critically. As a key person who will oversee work, it’s crucial that you’re a critical thinker who can sniff out and escalate potential issues, make suggestions, quickly adopt learnings, and follow-up with team members and leaders.
  • Communicate effectively. Ensure writers you work with are regularly reminded of best practices, and work closely with your lead to identify any opportunities for growth and improvement among the writers you regularly work with.
  • Provide feedback. Track repeat errors and communicate up to your lead, ensuring any additional training or corrective measures can be delivered in a timely manner.
  • Stay organized. Work with writers to establish clear writing and update strategies for all forms of published work, while maintaining a flexible production calendar with your lead that adapts to current priorities.
  • Write content as needed. An excellent editor is also an excellent writer. This person not only helps others’ copy shine; they also roll up their sleeves to help write content to meet team goals.

 

Job Qualifications
  • 2+ years of editing experience, preferably in a service journalism setting
  • Able to handle multiple projects with short deadlines
  • Comfortable getting into the weeds on topics you are not an expert in, to ensure submitted writing is accurate and authoritative
  • Willingness to occasionally work outside of standard hours to support business needs during major events
