The Role

Buzz Feed is searching for a Syndication Editor to monitor content from partner editorial teams — particularly Huff Post and Associated Press — and select stories with strong potential to resonate with Buzz Feed readers. You'll curate and package those stories for Buzz Feed.com, ensuring they are optimized for our voice, audience interests, and distribution channels.

This role requires someone who is both analytical and creative: able to recognize audience appetite, identify content gaps, and re-package stories in ways that maximize engagement.

This is a 3-month contract position with the possibility of extension.

You Have

• Ability to identify stories with viral or high-engagement potential

• Experience adapting or repackaging existing stories for new audiences or platforms

• Ability to interpret key audience data points and use them to refine your approach

• Highly organized and able to move quickly while managing multiple stories per day

• An understanding of content across verticals (news, lifestyle, entertainment) and audiences across platforms (Google, Facebook, Apple News)

• Strong awareness of social trends and what drives people to click, read, and share

• Ability to handle constructive feedback and improve from it

• Highly proficient in Slack + remote workflows

• Past experience working in editorial settings is required; 1-2 years experience preferred
