Hey everybody! We're on the lookout for not one, but two people to join our growing editorial team; one gig is focused on our commerce efforts, while the other is all about helping our SEO strategy across all types of content. Both are full-time contract gigs, and while we'd ideally have these roles located in one of our main offices (San Francisco, Los Angeles, or New York), we're open to remote work for the right candidate. The two roles are for a Commerce Editor focused on entertainment categories (think DVD/Blu-ray releases, toys, collectibles, comics, etc), and an Associate SEO Editor.

You can find details for both jobs below. Please email me at randolph.ramsay@cbsinteractive.com with a brief cover letter + your resume, and make sure to include links to your recent work. Importantly, though, make sure your email subject line contains either "Commerce Editor (Entertainment) Application" or "Associate SEO Editor Application", depending on what you're applying for. Good luck everyone!
