Your Responsibilities
  • Pitch and write original features, curated watchlists, franchise rankings, plot explainers, and deep-dive analysis on major movies, TV shows, and streaming platforms (Netflix, Max, Disney+, Prime Video, Apple TV+).
  • Pitch unique, reader-obsessed feature topics regularly (e.g., streaming hidden gems, franchise watch orders, character breakdowns, platform feature deep dives).
  • Input work into our in-house CMS, as well as find and format images, according to our guidelines.
  • Stay ahead of upcoming release slates, streaming ecosystem updates, and pop-culture trends to pitch timely feature angles.
  • Coordinate with editorial teams across brands for assignments, feedback, and content optimization.
  • Follow general Editorial Guidelines while producing unique and high-quality feature content.
What We Offer
  • Competitive per-story compensation.
  • Flexible schedule.
  • Remote position to work from a location of your choice.
  • Exposure to a massive global audience across multiple top-tier tech and media publications, providing you an exciting opportunity to make a genuine impact.
Experience and Skills
  • Relevant experience in writing and editing entertainment features, TV/movie listicles, or pop culture feature content in the English language.
  • Strong ability to pitch original feature concepts and write engaging, reader-focused feed content.
  • Deep knowledge of the current streaming landscape (Netflix, Max, Disney+, Hulu, Prime Video, Apple TV+) and major media franchises.
  • Ability to think analytically and turn complex plots, lore, or streaming trends into clear, readable, and exciting articles.
  • Proficiency with SEO practices for feature writing and experience using a web-based CMS.
  • A self-starter attitude with a passion for staying ahead of the entertainment curve.
How to Apply

If you are interested in this role, please send us the following documentation by uploading it in the relevant fields below:

  • Your CV and a cover letter telling us why you want to write entertainment feature content for our tech network.
  • At least 2-3 published entertainment features, listicles, or pop-culture articles that demonstrate your writing abilities.
  • Links to your portfolio or relevant social profiles.

Our hiring team will review your application and contact you if we believe that your experience could be a match for this role.
