WELL+GOOD: Creating a culture and community of wellness.

Trusted, influential, and famously trend-setting, Well+Good defines and demystifies wellness for a growing global community. Well+Good works to inform, empower, and educate communities and individuals in the many ways your day-to-day impacts your ability to live well. We believe that wellness and health should be attainable for all, while working to challenge the systems and barriers that prevent that from becoming a reality for many.

We are looking for a Senior Commerce Editor to help us develop and lead our editorial commerce content strategy across all platforms, driving audience and business growth.

A big vision calls for a big job. As we grow, our need for a Senior Commerce Editor grows with us. NY or LA preferred.

Additionally, we have performance focused brands in key categories such as Travel, Pets, and DIY (OnlyInYourState, Cuteness, eHow). Our media and marketplace brands are authentic and authoritative, reaching a large and growing passionate audience.

We work in a fun, collaborative environment that is diverse, adventurous, and open-minded. We look for proactive, accountable people focused on continuous learning and growth to push themselves and our businesses forward. Check us out here.
