Night News Writer

Thrillist is the essential resource for how to spend your time and money. We cover all the stuff you love – food, drink, travel, tech, cars, sex, dating, health, and entertainment – with expertise, passion, and taste.

The News department at Thrillist covers the fast-moving stories we care about as a brand -- yes, we have a heavy focus on food and drink, but travel, health, sex + dating, tech, cars, and entertainment all factor into our coverage, in major ways. We're looking for someone who can spot the stories that everyone will be talking about in an hour, and write clean, highly informative stories full of tone and angle at a rapid pace. And obviously do those things overnight! Which means working very autonomously within our brand framework, and making important calls without a ton of live oversight. We would prefer for this position to be in New York City, but as it will be a work-from home position the majority of the time, candidates in other cities will also be considered.
