Want to join the Secret NYC team?
We’re looking for a talented staff writer to cover the best things to do in New York City, for our Secret NYC website.
About us
Fever and the Secret Media Network were founded to help people find the most exciting things to do in their city. We started in Spain, and have grown fast: we’re now in London, Manchester, New York, Los Angeles, Paris, Madrid, Lisbon and many other cities across Europe, with more on the way!
Here in the US, Secret NYC shares content with over half a million social followers, bringing them the most intriguing and unmissable things to do in the city each day. We’re here to challenge incumbents, shake up the status quo and become the #1 brand for going-out content in the city.
About the role
Your responsibilities will include:
- Finding brilliant stories and generating tons of article ideas
- Writing engaging, informative articles about things to do in New York
- Creating appealing content on behalf of our commercial partners
- Scheduling social posts and managing content calendars
- Driving innovation and excellence in the media market and working to bring our platform the next big thing
You’ll be based in our office in Soho (it’s a WeWork with all the attendant perks) and it’s a full-time, Mon-Fri type of role. There’s also plenty of opportunities to get out and try the best new things in New York!
About you
We’re looking for someone who has…
- At least a year of digital journalism experience, with published examples of work we can look at
- A vivacious command of the written word, with a warm and witty tone of voice
- Pace and discipline, able to deliver work quickly and to deadline
- Excellent news sense, with a natural instinct for finding stories that people want to read (and share with their friends!)
- A solid understanding of the digital publishing landscape including social media channels, SEO and industry trends
- A passion for all things NYC, especially food and drink, arts and culture, going places and doing new things!
- A confident handle on tech – someone able to jump from WordPress to Google Analytics to Photoshop, using the tools available to improve their work
- A delightful and determined attitude: someone who’s prepared to get stuck in on whatever needs doing, big or small, and who’s ready to take on the competition but have fun at the same time.
The application process
We’d like someone to start as soon as possible, so we recommend applying at the earliest opportunity, as recruitment will close once as soon as we have the right slate of candidates.
Our application process includes a telephone interview, general aptitude test, written test where necessary, and in-person interview.
To apply, please send your resume along with a cover letter that explains why you’d be a great fit for the role, along with links to any relevant previous work.
