Lifehacker is looking for a second-in-command! You’ll need experience, a nose for news, and above all, a love of Lifehacker and of helping people live their very best lives. Sound like you? Here’re the details.


We’re looking for a deputy editor, a full-time position based out of Gawker Media’s shiny new headquarters in New York City. You’ll be in NYC, but you’ll help manage a team of writers all over the globe that frankly (and I’m biased) I think are the best on the internet. Are you a bad enough dude (or dudette!) to rescue ronnie join our crew? Here are the basics:

The ideal applicant should know the best methods to keep produce fresh, travel light, and save money on household essentials; they should always know the best thing to buy, from phones to televisions to water bottles. They’ll be as excited to edit stories about these topics as they are to write their own. Lifehacker’s deputy editor will also be hungry to expand the site’s editorial voice and tackle new topics and reach new people traditionally underserved by tech and lifestyle media. They will be completely comfortable with the editorial process—from pitch to publication to promotion and discussion. Their talents will be editorial and managerial, and they should be comfortable steering the Lifehacker ship at any time.


We’re looking for someone with 3-5 years experience writing and editing for a fast-paced lifestyle outlet, a news outlet, a career or advice site, or a consumer-focused finance blog with a diverse audience. Someone excited about producing some awesome podcasts and video, and has some great ideas about where we can take Lifehacker while staying true to our roots.

So. Sound like you? Head over here to apply, and may the odds be ever in your favor.

Oh, and fair warning: We get a lot of submissions, so we won’t be able to reply to everyone (sorry!), but we will read every submission we receive.
