Job Description

GQ is a global authority on style, culture, and modern masculinity, reaching millions of readers across print, digital, video, social, and emerging platforms. As part of Conde Nast's global network, GQ sits at the center of the fashion conversation while shaping how style intersects with celebrity, entertainment, sports, politics, and culture at large.

GQ is seeking a Chief Global Fashion Correspondent to serve as a defining editorial voice covering the global fashion industry. This role will combine reporting, criticism, cultural analysis, and cross-platform storytelling to produce authoritative, attention-getting coverage across web, print, newsletter, social, and video. This role also serves as a brand ambassador at fashion weeks, industry events, and GQ's own tentpole moments - and involves frequent travel while meeting editorial expectations.

The ideal candidate is deeply embedded in the fashion world, yet knows how to invite the broadest possible audience into conversations around menswear and fashion writ large. They should possess strong editorial judgment, sophisticated taste, sharp reporting instincts, and the ability to move fluidly between breaking news, trend coverage, access-driven reporting, criticism, cultural moments, profiles, and ambitious enterprise pieces. They should get excited about how fashion and menswear intersect with celebrity, entertainment, sports, politics, business, masculinity, and internet culture.

While remaining collaborative and curious, the strongest candidate brings a distinct point of view on all of the above, as well as a sharply honed voice. And they should be naturally driven to own the biggest stories in the world of men's fashion before anyone else - and eager to tell those stories across a variety of platforms.

The role reports to the Executive Editor.

• Help concept, execute, and cover GQ editorial and experiential events, including Men of the Year, The GQ Afterparty, fashion week activations, and other tentpole moments

• Participate in video shoots, social storytelling, live conversations, and multimedia editorial projects tied to fashion coverage

• Help translate major stories and fashion moments into cross-platform editorial programming

• 7+ years of experience covering fashion for a major media brand or publication

• Strong reporting skills and demonstrated ability to break news, develop sources, and produce original journalism

• Deep understanding of the global fashion industry, particularly menswear and luxury fashion

• Excellent writing skills with experience across criticism, reporting, profiles, and digital storytelling

• Experience working across multiple platforms, including digital, newsletter, social, video, and print
