We’re looking for a dynamic and creative Entertainment Editor based in North America to lead our coverage of pop culture, influencers, and the viral moments everyone’s talking about.
This is a key role in shaping Dexerto’s entertainment output – and we want someone who’s just as obsessed with what’s happening on X, TikTok, YouTube, Twitch, and Instagram as they are with getting stories out fast and flawlessly.

- Collaborating with writers and social media teams to ensure stories are packaged perfectly for platforms like X, Facebook, Instagram, and more
- Challenging ideas constructively and mentoring writers to improve quality
- Bringing fresh, creative ideas to the table — we’re looking for someone who can think beyond the usual and help Dexerto reach new audiences
- Proven experience writing and editing entertainment or internet culture news
- Strong knowledge of viral stories, content creators, celebrities, and social media platforms
- Excellent news judgment, a flair for headlines, and the instinct to know what will go big
- An eye for quality and the confidence to reject stories that don’t hit the mark
- Creative thinking and the ability to pitch new formats and storytelling ideas
- A personable, collaborative attitude – with the backbone to lead editorial standards
- Covering politics, war, or serious current affairs — this role is all about fun, buzzworthy stories that entertain and inform
- Work with a fast-moving, passionate team that’s defining how digital entertainment is covered
- Help shape the editorial voice of a leading entertainment and influencer-focused outlet
- Remote flexibility with the opportunity to make a big impact on a global platform
