About the role

We're looking for a commercially minded Shopping Editor to lead and grow our shopping and affiliate content across Are Media New Zealand's premium portfolio of brands.

Reporting to the NZ Head of Digital, you'll be responsible for creating engaging, high-performing shopping content that helps our audiences discover products they'll love – from beauty and fashion to home, lifestyle and gifting. You'll identify emerging trends, uncover the best buys, and produce trusted recommendations that resonate with readers while delivering strong commercial results.

You'll own the shopping content strategy and calendar, working closely with editorial, audience, SEO and commercial teams to ensure content aligns with seasonal moments, audience interests and business priorities. You'll also drive the promotion and optimisation of shopping content across our digital platforms and support opportunities across print where relevant.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who combines strong editorial instincts with a data-driven mindset. You'll be confident using performance insights to refine content, identify growth opportunities and maximise affiliate revenue, while maintaining the editorial integrity and trusted voice our audiences expect.

If you're passionate about digital publishing, love discovering the latest products and trends, and thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment, we'd love to hear from you.

Duties

• Creating shoppable content across Are Media's NZ brand portfolio, from gift guides and trend edits to product reviews and affiliate-driven features
