Insider Inc is hiring a Remote Life and Culture Editor Singapore
\nInsider Inc. launched a global news bureau in Singapore in January 2021. Weโre a team of 9 people split across news, business, and lifestyle desks. Weโre looking for an editor who has a knack for telling stories in a conversational way and who wants to set the vision for Insiderโs lifestyle coverage out of Asia. This is a full-time position based in Singapore.\n\nWe want you to help us answer questions like: What are millennials in China buying? Whatโs the most fascinating real-estate story in Japan right now? How has travel in Thailand changed because of the pandemic? Whatโs going on with all of Malaysiaโs abandoned real-estate projects? What new status symbols are evolving among APACโs 1%? Thatโs in addition to covering any major lifestyle news that breaks in the US overnight. This is a lifestyle desk with business undertones, and we are looking to create, not follow, the news cycle.\n\nThe editor will report directly to the bureau chief. To start, you will manage two reporters (real estate and visual features beats). You will also be given a freelance budget and asked to regularly commission stories from reporters across the APAC region. The best candidate for this role has the ability to toggle between macro-level strategizing and micro-level execution. In addition to the above, themes youโll be asked to commission stories on include travel, youth culture, and wealth.\n\nOn a daily basis, you will be tasked with approving pitches, assigning stories, and running edits. Weโll ask you to help recruit talent for the desk and contribute your own writing.The reporters youโll manage write 1-2 stories a day in the 300- to 500-word range, and work on longer features in the background. \n\nThe ideal editor will:\n\n\nHave a finely tuned story sense: You know how to assign stories and discover angles that generate conversations\n\nHave at least 3 years experience working in a newsroom, either as an editor or as a reporter\n\nThink about stories both in terms of their narrative and their images\n\nHave the ability to write and edit quickly and accurately\n\nWant to work on small team and be excited by the prospect of building a new desk\n\nBe deadline driven and able to assign stories with an appropriate word count and scope\n\nHave experience writing headlines and working in a metrics-driven environment\n\nExhibit a sense of urgency around the news cycle\n\nBe comfortable working in AP style\n\nBe eager to write and report themselves, especially while the team is still growing\n\nHave familiarity with social media distribution and SEO \n\n\n\n\nIf this sounds like your dream job, apply here with a single PDF containing your resume/CV and cover letter explaining why you are the perfect fit for this role, and links to your previous work.\n\nNot sure what makes for a great resume and/or cover letter?

๐ Please reference you found the job on Remote OK, this helps us get more companies to post here, thanks!
When applying for jobs, you should NEVER have to pay to apply. You should also NEVER have to pay to buy equipment which they then pay you back for later. Also never pay for trainings you have to do. Those are scams! NEVER PAY FOR ANYTHING! Posts that link to pages with "how to work online" are also scams. Don't use them or pay for them. Also always verify you're actually talking to the company in the job post and not an imposter. A good idea is to check the domain name for the site/email and see if it's the actual company's main domain name. Scams in remote work are rampant, be careful! Read more to avoid scams. When clicking on the button to apply above, you will leave Remote OK and go to the job application page for that company outside this site. Remote OK accepts no liability or responsibility as a consequence of any reliance upon information on there (external sites) or here.
