Job Description:

The California Post is seeking an experienced and audience driven Lifestyle News Editor to direct coverage of our lifestyle content in California — working across verticals including sex & relationships, fashion, real estate, parenting, travel, food & drink, science & technology and general interest. This role offers the right candidate the opportunity to set the lifestyle agenda in one of the most exciting cities in America.

The successful candidate will be skilled at identifying the topics everyone wants to read and talk about — and then produce and edit content in The Post’s uniquely irreverent tone of voice. They should have both high level copy editing experience as well as an innate understanding of audience metrics, and how to write a sparkling headline that generates conversation and traffic. They will also be skilled in mining social media and competitive news sources for the best leads — and know how to turn online and real-life chatter into stories that give depth to the Post’s lifestyle section and put it ahead of the trends.

Application Instructions: Applicants should submit a cover letter and applicable work samples/clips for consideration.

Responsibilities:

  • Generating an endless font of innovative and agenda-setting daily trending and exclusive ideas.
  • Assigning and editing trending daily stories, as well as long lead stories where needed.
  • Overseeing the production of a number of daily stories — from writing headlines in the Post’s signature wit to ensuring SEO best practices to coordinating photo shoots and imagery.
  • Analyzing web traffic to drive audience engagement and meet goals of the department.
  • Monitoring the news to look for opportunities to add depth to our headlines through original reporting, first-person perspectives and expert explainers.
  • Managing the lifestyle reporters on the team.
  • Coordinating closely with departments such as photo, video, and audience development.

Requirements:

  • At least 10 years of progressive editorial experience in a news or high-volume magazine environment, preferably focused on lifestyle content, including experience in an editor or editorial leadership capacity.
  • Excellent news judgement and the sharpest of editing and writing prowess.
  • Your finger on the pulse of the topics and trends of interest to the Post audience.
  • Proven understanding of what makes a story successful across digital platforms - from headlines to visuals and optimization.
  • Proficiency in WordPress or similar CMS.
  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple stories, writers, and deadlines simultaneously.
  • Comfortable making fast, decisive editorial calls in a breaking news environment.
  • Collaborative team player who can work across departments including visuals, social, and audience development.
  • An understanding of referral traffic, particularly, social, search and Discover.
  • Knowledge in driving and retaining audiences, with deeper, engagement focused content.
  • Familiarity with analytics tools and performance metrics to help guide coverage and strategy.

​Note: This role will be expected to report into the office 5 days per week.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
