• Write shorter, quick-turn news stories — often with a turnaround time of less than 60 minutes.
• Collaborate with editorial team members to coordinate coverage plans that maximize impact on our audience.
• Develop an in-depth understanding of the major loyalty programs.
• Build relationships with key external contacts at major airline and hotel loyalty programs.
• Pinpoint opportunities to streamline our content refresh process.

What we’re looking for

• A team player who enjoys collaborating with others to solve problems, improve processes, and better meet the needs of the TPG reader.
• A strong communicator who can clearly and succinctly communicate deadlines, deliverables, and opportunities for improvement in a cross-functional work environment.
• A highly organized individual with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and to prioritize their workload according to changing needs.
• A fast learner who is willing to invest time and energy into learning about loyalty programs and travel rewards credit cards.
• Strong research and writing skills with the ability to edit and rewrite on a deadline.
• Foundational understanding of SEO best practices and ability to work closely with team members to optimize editorial content.
• Good grasp of The Points Guy voice and style and the ability to enhance it on the posts for which you are responsible.
• Familiarity with AP style and using content style guides.
• Working knowledge of WordPress and HTML preferred.
• Prior personal or professional experience with points & miles, credit cards and travel is a plus.
• An overwhelming desire to HAVE FUN while educating and informing TPG’s audience about all things travel.
• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience.

Even if you don’t meet all of the above requirements, we still want to hear from you!
