Associate Commerce Editor

About the role

The New York Post delivers the best in news, sports, entertainment, pop culture and shopping, with wit, irreverence and authority across print, digital, video, audio, app and commerce. We’re hiring an Associate Commerce Editor for the revenue-generating commerce team. This is not a business reporting role. In this dynamic, expanded position, you will balance daily writing with foundational editing responsibilities, serving as a critical bridge between our reporting and editing desks.

Responsibilities

• Write a minimum of two short-form deal stories per day, continuing to publish fast, useful shopping stories that drive revenue.
• Edit 15+ fast-turn deals and standard shopping content daily from reporters.
• Move copy from draft to live with speed, ensuring clean formatting, airtight affiliate linking and FTC compliance.
• Take point on executing sponsored content and flat-fee product placements, seamlessly weaving revenue-driven partnerships into daily coverage while maintaining reader trust and the iconic Post voice.
• Step in to report, write or co-edit larger, high-priority features and tentpole packages (Prime Day, Black Friday, Cyber Week) as assigned by leadership.
• Share ownership of the evergreen strategy.
• Audit and update top-performing posts for price, stock and SEO/AEO/GEO optimization to maximize long-tail revenue.
• Write sharp, on-brand headlines (providing 3-5 variants for testing).
• Begin providing actionable, constructive feedback to reporters to maintain voice and standards.
• Monitor performance dashboards to iterate headlines, framing and placement.
• Pitch high-intent stories based on search data, real-time signals and competitor coverage.

Requirements

• Professional experience commensurate with an associate-level role in features, news or commerce writing, backed by a portfolio of strong clips and early experience (or a demonstrated aptitude) for editing.
• Obsession with the commerce landscape, reader value and producing service-oriented content with a commercial focus.
• Command of the iconic NY Post voice and a proven track record of writing crisp, authoritative headlines.
• Working knowledge of SEO, AEO and GEO, plus social media best practices.
• Comfort reading dashboards (Search Console, GA4, Looker or similar) and using data to pivot quickly to trends or live news without losing accuracy.
• CMS fluency and sharp attention to detail, including mastery of AP style and FTC-compliant disclosures.
• A collaborative, growth-oriented mindset – highly organized, adaptable and ready to take on coaching responsibilities.

Nice to Have

• Hands-on familiarity with affiliate dashboards and networks (Amazon Associates, Skimlinks or similar), project management platforms and SEO tools.
• Experience jumping between categories and services that help shoppers protect value.
• Deeper understanding of AEO, GEO and AI overviews.
• Newsletter experience.

Pay

Base Pay Range: $70,000 - $80,000. We’re committed to offering competitive and flexible compensation to attract top talent. This pay range reflects our good faith estimate for the role and may vary based on a candidate’s experience, skills, location, and other relevant factors.
