Native Content Writer

Company Description

We are Australia’s leading youth media group and the home of the world’s most revolutionary digital media brands.

We bring young Aussies the stories they want across all of their interests - from culture to tech, business to gaming, fashion to entertainment, politics to lifestyle.

And we create innovative solutions for clients that they won’t get anywhere else.

Pedestrian Group is a wholly owned subsidiary of Nine Entertainment Co.

**Job Description**:
Pedestrian Group is on the hunt for a creative writer to join our growing native team. This position will be responsible for brainstorming, producing and optimising written branded content across our seven award-winning websites: PEDESTRIAN.TV, VICE Australia, Refinery29 Australia, The Chainsaw, Lifehacker Australia, Gizmodo Australia, and Kotaku Australia.

At Pedestrian Group, we work with a broad scope of brands including Amazon, Disney, Telstra, Bumble, Tourism NZ, Commbank and more, meaning each day you’ll be covering a completely different passion point for a completely different client, publication and audience.

From money-saving hacks to a guide on sliding into someone’s DMs and why an 8K TV is worth the spend, no editorial angle is off the table, and out-of-the-box ideas are not only welcomed but championed.

As a gatekeeper of editorial integrity across our publications, it’s important that you’re able to whip out clever solutions for our clients and publications alike, and work collaboratively with our Creative Projects, Partnerships and Editorial teams on a daily basis.

**The Native Content Writer will be required to**:

- Produce native content - including everything from news announcements to social posts and longer-form lifestyle, technology and culture content - across any and all Pedestrian Group sites
- Brainstorm editorial angles with our Partnerships team in response to a client’s brief on a daily basis
- Work collaboratively with our Creative Projects team to deliver best-in-class native content while meeting client needs
- Work collaboratively with our site editors to ensure all native content is reflective of the overall editorial strategy and its different audiences, as well as minimise content conflicts between organic and native content
- Track the progress of native articles through calendar and tracker spreadsheets
- Manage multiple campaigns concurrently

**Qualifications**:
**This position calls for someone with**:

- At least 2 years editorial experience, freelancing or otherwise
- An appreciation for the importance of quality native content as a service to the reader
- The ability to change your writing tone to suit different audiences across pillars including tech, culture, lifestyle and business
- Willingness to appear on branded social media posts such as Instagram Reels and TikToks
- Time management skills and experience working to tight deadlines
- Strong writing skills
- An understanding of G-Suite tools
- Knowledge of best SEO practices, Yoast and varying CMS platforms such as Wordpress
- The ability to communicate effectively with both internal and external stakeholders
- A cover letter outlining why you’d be the perfect fit for this role.
- Your CV (feel free to get creative)

We can’t wait to meet you
