The Role

BuzzFeed Shopping is a destination for service-oriented, entertaining, and informative affiliate content for our fellow shopping enthusiasts. Our freelancer program is rapidly growing as we start to strategize new ways to diversify and broaden our content. We now work with an ever-expanding pool of freelancers who share our passion for describing and carefully curating new, exciting products so readers can make meaningful and informed purchases that help them live their lives better. Our goal is for freelancer and full-time staff writers' posts to seamlessly blend together, allowing our audience to enjoy a consistent experience when visiting BuzzFeed Shopping.

You Will

• Edit freelance posts so that they meet our general best practices, are written in the BuzzFeed voice, and seamlessly blend with our regular BuzzFeed Shopping content.

• 1+ years of experience editing shopping stories, either by staff or freelancers.
