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.

• 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
