The ideal candidate will have a pulse on the cultural conversations around style and can write and assign clever reported features, personal essays, timely service pieces, lively styling guides, SEO content, and celebrity style stories in equal measure, with a firm grasp on how these ideas can translate on Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, in newsletters, and on emerging platforms—all with a sharp and humorous POV and an eye to performance.

This candidate also must have a passion for the Glamour brand and a willingness to adhere to our pillars as they pertain to style, a list that includes approachability, a mass-market mindset, and authenticity.
