The Reviews team at Business Insider is hiring a Home and Sleep Reviews fellow to support coverage of home and sleep-related topics through hands-on testing, research, and writing.
Business Insider is for people who are driven, optimistic and always looking forward. Our mission is to inspire action through thought-provoking stories. We tell our audience what they want and need to know to improve their lives with buying guides that are accessible, smart, sometimes unexpected, and always helpful. Our team members embody and uphold Business Insider’s three core values: we are all one team, we are effective, and we strive to get better every day.
The Business Insider Fellowship Program is for early career journalists who want to spend six months learning from a newsroom full of passionate, dedicated journalists. Fellows are assigned to teams and become experts in digital storytelling. They produce real work that is distributed to our audience of millions, and by the end of six months, they are prepared for the next phase of their journalism careers. This role requires you to work for 40 hours a week and can be fully remote.
The Role & Team:
As a Home and Sleep Reviews fellow you will write in-depth, researched reviews, guides, and supplementary stories that help our readers find great products that make their lives better. They will help our Reviews editors research, test, and write about everything from pillows and bed sheets to furniture and decor. This fellow will spend their time doing meaningful work: researching, writing, interviewing, pitching, helping with our catalog of updates, and covering the wide world of home products.
A major perk of this role is getting to test home products, including mattresses, bedding, and furniture; the ideal candidate understands that this often requires time, space, and person-power, including coordinating delivery and donation of large items, regularly changing out pillows and sheets for testing, and doing durability testing of fabrics through many loads of laundry in a home machine.
This role reports directly to the senior home editor and sits on the Reviews team. This role will be remote, with the option to come into our New York office.
