Over the past 224 years, The Post has evolved into a multi-platform media company spanning print, digital, video, audio, app, television, and commerce.

Page Six Digital is the modern evolution of the iconic gossip column, delivering the latest in celebrity news, entertainment, and pop culture with a bold, fast-paced digital edge.

**_Note: This role is based in NYC and reports directly to the Managing Editor._**

• Approve, assign, and edit multiple stories per day across a team of reporters and writers

• Shape story ideas that reflect Page Six’s signature tone — sharp, witty, exclusive, and always on the pulse

• Guide daily editorial coverage with a strategic, traffic-savvy mindset — you know what readers will click before they do

• Serve as a team leader and mentor, helping to develop junior staff while upholding editorial standards

• Lead and support real-time breaking news coverage with confidence and clarity

• Use tools like Google Analytics and Parse.ly to analyze traffic trends and make smart editorial decisions

• Collaborate with photo, video, and social teams to enhance our storytelling and keep content dynamic

• Represent Page Six in cross-functional meetings and special events

• Help steer coverage for live cultural moments — from red carpets to courtroom showdowns — occasionally outside of traditional hours

**Requirements:**

• Minimum of 7 years in digital entertainment journalism, including proven editing experience

• Strong experience managing, assigning and mentoring editorial teams in a fast-paced newsroom

• Expert-level editing, headline writing, and reporting skills — and a love for SEO that goes beyond buzzwords

• Excellent news judgment and a passion for crafting compelling, clickable content

• Deep knowledge of celebrity culture, pop culture trends, and the Page Six brand and voice

• Confidence navigating high-pressure, rapid-fire news cycles without sacrificing quality

• Proficiency in CMS platforms (WordPress a plus) and a deep understanding of analytics tools

• Flexibility to work nights and weekends around major entertainment events and breaking stories

**Note: The New York Post adheres to a hybrid work model. This position will be expected to report into our NYC office 4 days per week.**
