Australia’s leading youth content publisher, Junkee Media, has a rare and exciting opening for a Senior Writer to join our editorial team in Surry Hills, Sydney.
Junkee launched five years ago with a remit to shake up Australia’s pop culture landscape. With a fresh take and unique attitude, Junkee quickly established itself as one of the most interesting new voices in Australian media. Junkee was named Media Brand of the Year at the Mumbrella Awards in its first year online, and its funny, smart, ballsy and interesting take on news, film, politics, TV and more has seen it develop a strong following.
Now we’re on the hunt for a full-time Senior Writer with a passion for all things music and pop culture, to help us grow our footprint and make an impact.
Will be an experienced editor and writer who loves all things music — from EDM to pop, at home and abroad — and is fascinated by the many ways music intersects with the worlds of pop culture, news and politics in 2018. You’ll also have the ability to nail the right tone of each piece, producing consistently high-quality copy every time.
You will write, commission and edit daily content across a wide variety of topics, covering everything from daily music and pop culture news, to big, impactful features and opinion pieces.
You’ll have a wide and diverse list of contacts to draw from in order to create highly engaging content that will stand out in a crowded marketplace, while keeping Junkee’s audience informed and entertained.
You will be well versed in social media and how to get your content seen as widely as possible, so a proven track record of amplifying content digitally will be looked upon very favourably.
You’ll also be able to write content that stands out from the crowd, with a keen nose for what makes a great story and the ability to find stories, angles and opinions that will most interest Junkee’s audience.
An obsessive love for correct grammar and an aversion to dangling modifiers is required. We’re looking for someone who has a unique tone of voice, can write a snappy headline and who knows the difference between clickable and clickbait.
We want someone who is passionate about telling stories that matter to Junkee’s young, highly engaged audience, and who loves what we do and wants to collaborate with a growing team as we look expand Junkee’s footprint across the news, entertainment and pop culture space.
Due to the high volume of applications Junkee Media receives, only short-listed candidates will be contacted. Apply here.
