The Finer ThingsJobs of the Week
We think our algorithm might be getting soft. It has started throwing up channels focused on traveling, fine art, and entertainment, food, and (gasp!) listicles. So for this week’s selections of jobs, we asked our editors to find ones that showcase the finer things in life. Because it’s the 21st century and work shouldn’t feel like work. So here is what they came up with:
1. For the fine diners
If you love food and want to talk about, there are a lot of interesting jobs out there. You could be a freelance food blogger for opentable, or if you have a really fine palate, you could be a senior food writer for National Geographic (we are talking about 10 years of experience and potentially a Masters degree). If you aren’t much of a writer — be a junior food video producer at Buzzfeed. Cooking experience is a plus.
Just getting started and want to build a career around food — be a Community Team Intern at Tastemade.
And if you want to build a sales or a marketing career at an innovative food company, we have a curated channel for you to drool over.
2. For the fine winers (why whine when you can wine)
If you know your Pinot’s from your Merlot’s, or care enough to find out, be an assistant sommelier at the hot new restaurant housed within the Whitney Museum at the high line. At Union Square hospitality, you will get to attend beverage courses and learn more about the craft. It requires 3 years of restaurant beverage experience.
If you want to marry wine with business, then you could be the Director of Wine at the Shangri-La. In this role you will lead the marketing strategy for the wine retail business.
If you want to use your RAD programming skills to disrupt the wine industry, then you could be a Python developer at Which Winery.
For mixologists, beverage marketers, and hospitality experts, we have channels for you.
3. For those who want to see the world

You’re required to travel through Europe, Asia, Latin America and Africa to audit their business everywhere. And people say that being an accountant is a desk job!
Or you could manage Foreign Rights at Lonely Planet. Based in London you could work with Lonely Planet’s publishing partners to drive growth across three territories.
