That’s why 99U is looking for a whip-smart editor to monitor, report, and provide insights on those successfully navigating these issues for our fast-growing audience. Sound like you? Let’s talk.
The Staff Writer / Associate Editor is the advocate for our growing readership of creatives from all industries. Your main job? Seek out the latest creative career trends and distill them into actionable insights. You will work closely with the Editor-in-Chief to further establish 99U as the go-to creative resource. You must have a passion for empowering the creative community. You must be comfortable interviewing sources and turning around feature-style articles on deadline. You must have real writing ability and real editorial experience. You must have an interest in the online editorial landscape.

This is not a “behind the scenes” role. You will be out in front of 99U’s many wide-ranging publishing projects. It’s a lot of work, but it’s also exhilarating and extremely rewarding. We have bold plans for 2016 and we need someone who can join us in taking 99U to the next level.
