Are you an experienced editor with a passion for all things gaming, from the latest AAA titles to indie gems and retro favorites?

If so,  HowToGeek.com is looking for a Gaming Editor to join our team! This role involves both writing and editorial leadership. You’ll guide a small team of writers, manage editorial workflows, and make sure the section consistently publishes timely, high-quality, and engaging gaming content.

About Us:

How-To Geek is an online technology publication with tens of millions of readers each month. Our readers love How-To Geek because of its unique voice.

We’re not a website for geeks, we are the geeks . We’re the people you turn to when your computer isn’t working right, you need to do something technical, or you want to understand the latest gadgets, and which are the best ones to buy. We explain it all in simple, approachable terms. How-To Geek is for everyone.

What We’re Looking For:
  • Write and publish articles across a mix of formats, news briefs, deep dives, guides, and tips. Some may include original screenshots or photography.

  • Lead your section's team of freelance and self-publishing writers, assigning stories, reviewing pitches, and giving clear editorial guidance.

  • Edit submitted articles for accuracy, readability, tone, and alignment with our style guide.

  • Maintain a strong editorial workflow: review deadlines, manage daily/monthly content flow, and ensure a balanced mix of article types.

  • Monitor section performance using analytics tools and adjust strategy to support growth and engagement goals.

  • Collaborate in weekly editorial meetings, contribute ideas, and stay aligned with the broader content strategy.


Skills We’re Looking For:

  • Proven experience in an editorial leadership role, preferably in the media or digital publishing industry.
  • Deep understanding of the gaming industry: from consoles and PC to mobile and emerging platforms.

  • Excellent editorial judgment and attention to detail, with a proven ability to edit and produce high-quality content.
  • Familiarity with SEO best practices and experience in optimizing content for search engines.
  • Proficiency in using content management systems (CMS), editorial calendar tools, and analytics platforms (Google Analytics, SEMrush, etc.).
  • Strong organizational and time-management skills, with the ability to prioritize multiple tasks and meet deadlines.
  • Bachelor’s degree in journalism, communications, or a related field is preferred.


Application Requirements:

  • CV/Resume

  • Cover Letter

  • Please answer this question:
    What makes you the right fit for this role?
    (Tell us a bit about your background, your editorial experience, and your passion for games.)

We will get back to you as soon as possible if we think you'd make a solid addition to the team.
