- Apply SEO best practices and Hypebeast style and disclosure standards to every partner post.
- Prepare images and assets in WordPress and Photoshop for publication.

Requirements:

- 1-3 years of professional writing experience in digital media, branded content, copywriting or an agency.
- A portfolio of published work; branded or sponsored content is a strong plus.
- Excellent written English, with clean copy that needs minimal editing. Written Chinese, Japanese or Korean is a plus.

- Strong knowledge of Hypebeast content and of fashion, sneakers, design and youth culture.
- Organized and reliable with deadlines; comfortable taking client feedback and turning revisions around quickly.
