We’re looking for a Junior Writer who creates original content for BuzzFeed's O&O and/or distributed platforms. This candidate should be comfortable taking on daily assignments and pitching story ideas related to the current celeb news cycle, as well as have the foresight to create evergreen content that serves our readers. We're looking for a real pop culture junkie who's not afraid to poke the hive with some hot takes!

Writers should have a keen eye for finding new and interesting stories happening both on and offline as well as a grasp of the nuanced cultural conversations happening all over the internet. We're looking for people who are fascinated by social media, human psychology, and trends of all kinds. On any given day, you might be researching behind-the-scenes facts and Easter eggs about a trending piece of pop culture, testing out cooking hacks, or making a TikTok explaining a viral news topic.

Junior writers will work with the local Canadian BuzzFeed team — some of the smartest, weirdest, most creative, and most viral creators out there. This is the perfect opportunity for someone interested in pursuing a career in digital media. You won't be running errands for senior staff, or transcribing someone else's interviews, you will be pitching ideas, taking assignments, brainstorming, collaborating, and writing dozens of stories that will be published to BuzzFeed.com and promoted across our social channels. You will also create (or collaborate with team members to create) vertical video (TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts).

This position is paid (starting at $25/hour CAD). This opportunity allows candidates to work fully remotely across Canada, but there will also be opportunities to work from our Toronto office.
