The Tab is hiring an Editor for our new film and TV site

The Tab Group is hiring a film and TV-obsessed Editor to run a new, exciting project.

Our mission is to publish sharp, accessible film and TV news, features, and hot takes for a Gen-Z audience who are more passionate about movie watching than ever. The vertical will explore cinematic entertainment ranging from new movie releases to trending shows, and red carpet moments to the Netflix top 10. Like The Tab, the stories will be bold, fun, voice-driven, and unlike any coverage you find elsewhere on the big US entertainment sites. 

You should be a huge film and TV lover – the sort of person who leaves the cinema and wants to discuss the film in-depth, keeps up to date with all the new major releases, and might even have an active Letterboxd account. But we’re not looking for a film critic in the traditional, stuffy sense. Instead, you should be super tuned into mainstream shows and films that are causing a buzz among Gen Z, and tap into the real conversations they’re having about them.

The Editor will be responsible for growing the site’s readership massively as we launch, while publishing spot-on film and TV stories daily to get us noticed.

This will be the second vertical site launched under The Tab Group, following the huge success of Reality Shrine. The Tab Group is the youth arm of the fast-growing entertainment powerhouse Digitalbox, and sits alongside established brands like Entertainment Daily!, TV Guide, and The Poke.
