Your impact:

Elle Decor is seeking a talented market editor with a superb eye. The market editor, working with the style director, will contribute to the brand’s home-design coverage by sourcing the best new products in various categories—furniture, fabrics, tabletop, kitchen, bath, and more—to feature in multiple front-of-book columns within each issue and on Elledecor.com. Trade show attendance both in New York City and out-of-town will be required, as will meetings with manufacturer representatives in and out of the office (and virtually). This editor will help write captions and display copy and will bring a strong visual sense and point of view to both the pages of the magazine and to articles on its website. Four to five years’ experience at a national consumer magazine is essential, with a deep concentration and focus on the home design/shelter category. Above all, creativity and enthusiasm are paramount for this role. For consideration, resumes must be submitted in PDF format with a cover letter, salary requirements, and a link to a portfolio of work.

What you’ll do:

• Conduct research for our front-of-book market columns, which will include helping our style director source the best brands and products to share with our readers

• Produce FOB columns and take ownership of them from start to finish, which will involve calling in products from manufacturers; setting up and breaking down sets for studio and sometimes on-location photo shoots; and coordinating product returns after these shoots

• Gather crediting information from our vendors and partners for in-book resource listings

• Write both for the print magazine (FOB columns and occasional market features) and for Elledecor.com (market news stories, product roundups, SEO updates, etc.)

• Attend meetings with industry representatives and attend trade shows to seek out the latest trends and products that we should be covering

Who you are:

• 4 to 5 years of postgrad experience at a national consumer shelter magazine experience is essential, along with a knowledge of and passion for the world of interior design

• Interest in and experience with styling photo shoots is preferred

• A strong visual sense and a sense of style—a good eye for what the readers of Elle Decor will want to see in our pages

• Sharp writing skills

• A willingness to learn, and an enthusiasm to roll up your sleeves and help the team!
