The posting

Say hello to Hagerty

Hagerty is a company built by drivers for drivers. We put our members at the center of everything we do and are dedicated to making it easier and more enjoyable for enthusiasts to drive and celebrate the machines they love. We’re proud to be the world’s largest insurer of collectible and enthusiast vehicles and are home to the Hagerty Drivers Club, the world’s largest car club. Our Marketplace business presents live and digital sales across the U.S. and Europe, we host a number of driving events and concours, and our award-winning automotive journalists produce the most popular car magazine globally, alongside internationally awarded videos. We’re committed to Never Stop Driving. Ready to get in the driver’s seat? Join us!

As an Associate Editor, Hagerty Media, you’re a utility infielder. This is not a job for someone who wants to specialize. We need someone who can write a sharp story, organize a photo shoot, drive a collector car to a location, run down a lead, fact-check a feature, and pitch three good ideas in the same week. Sometimes in the same day. The role sits within Hagerty’s editorial operation — serving the magazine, digital platforms, video, and whatever else we dream up next. The work is varied by design, and that variety is the point. One week you might be researching the history of a forgotten muscle car. The next you might be on a plane to cover an auction, coordinate a desert photo shoot, or track down the one person in the world who knows the most about a 1967 Camaro Z/28. If doing a bunch of genuinely different things sounds like a burden, this is not your job. If it sounds like the job you’ve always wanted, keep reading.

What you’ll do

  • Writing: everything from photo captions to small Web features to new- and old-car reviews. And more.
  • Project management: magazine stories and sections require “trail-bossing,” a complex set of logistical and creative skills.
  • Ideation: Be ready to pitch ideas on multiple fronts.
  • Locate and recruit privately owned cars for magazine stories and photo shoots.
  • Conduct photo and informational research.
  • Collaboration: This is essential to what we do. Media products are the result of brainstorming, strategizing, debate, and decision-making. You’ll hone your skills on all these fronts.
  • Database management: stories, photos, and other media assets have to be rigorously curated and categorized.
  • Magazine section management: curate, organize, ideate, and execute specific sections of the print magazine, under the tutelage of senior editorial staff, collaborating closely with contributing writers, photographers, illustrators, and other members of Hagerty media and Valuation staff.

This might describe you

  • Genuine car enthusiasm — not a passing interest, a real obsession.
  • Strong writing skills across multiple formats, including features, web, social, and captions.
  • Good ideas and the confidence to pitch them.
  • Organizational ability — you can manage logistics without being reminded.
  • Self-starter mentality — you figure things out rather than waiting to be told.
  • Curiosity that extends beyond cars — history, culture, people, business.
  • Comfort working across platforms and formats.
  • Ability and willingness to travel regularly.
  • Valid driver’s license and comfort driving a wide range of vehicles, including high-value collector cars.

Over and above

  • Prior experience in journalism, photography, research, editorial assistance, or a related media role.
  • Hands-on experience working in or around the automotive industry, collector car world, or enthusiast media.
  • Familiarity with how editorial operations actually function — from pitch to publication.
  • Exceptional talent and demonstrated versatility across editorial formats will be considered in lieu of traditional experience.

Other things to note

  • This role requires regular travel. You will be on the road.
  • This role is based in Ann Arbor, MI. Team members are expected to work onsite at our Ann Arbor office a minimum of three days per week.
  • Familiarity with public company requirements, including Sarbanes Oxley and key regulations, if applicable. For SOX compliant roles, responsible for designing, executing, and documenting internal controls where they have been identified as owners to prevent errors in financial reporting, processes, and business operations. Including attestation to the completeness, accuracy, and compliance of all financial reporting data, where applicable.

If you reside in the following jurisdictions: Illinois, Colorado, California, District of Columbia, Hawaii, Maryland, Minnesota, Nevada, New York, or Jersey City, New Jersey, Cincinnati or Toledo, Ohio, Rhode Island, Washington, British Columbia, Canada please email [email protected] for compensation, comprehensive benefits and the perks that set us apart.

At Hagerty, we share the road. We are an inclusive automotive community where all are welcomed, valued and belong regardless of race, gender, age, or car preference. We are united by our shared passion for driving, our commitment to preserve car culture for future generations and our desire to make a positive impact in the world.

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.
