- Conceptualise unique ways to cover the biggest fashion, beauty and lifestyle stories of the day ‘the Refinery29 way’
- Grow and maintain an incredible network of contributors who reflect Australia’s diversity
- Write, pitch and edit copy quickly and accurately under tight deadlines
- Source and integrate products into feature and gallery-style pieces
- Support commercial partnerships by attending brainstorms as needed and creating editorial packages that help drive sales revenue
- Interview the most interesting names in the style, beauty and lifestyle space, both globally and locally
- Represent Refinery29 at industry events as required
- Platform content on Refinery29 Australia's social channels

This is a full-time role based out of Pedestrian Group’s offices in Sydney.

**Qualifications**:

- Demonstrated experience writing fashion and/or beauty content, ideally with some commentary and opinion mixed in
- Positive, intuitive/proactive, and collaborative team player
- Superior judgement and discretion
- Deep understanding of the diversity and intersectionality of young polycultural audiences
