Job description

Collider is the leading source for impactful entertainment coverage, serving millions of readers with smart, authoritative stories on the biggest movies, TV shows, streaming hits, cult classics, and everything in between. With a focus on quality, timeliness, and relevance, we aim to be the go-to destination for passionate fans and curious newcomers alike.

We’re looking for driven and insightful freelance writers who can create timely, high-performing pieces around trending film and TV topics. This role is not just about producing content, it’s about directly driving traffic and audience engagement. The success of your articles contributes directly to the success of the brand, and your earnings scale accordingly. The more reviews your content generates, the more commensurate your payment becomes.

Your Responsibilities

  • Keep up with trends and new SEO practices to produce the most high-impact articles every week
  • Monitor industry trends, streaming charts, and online discourse to surface smart, timely story ideas.
  • Write clear, engaging, and accurate copy that follows Collider’s editorial and SEO guidelines.
  • Submit assignments in a timely manner that are properly self-edited.
  • Work closely with segment leads and implement feedback quickly and constructively.
  • Demonstrate strong knowledge of movies and television, both classic and current.
  • Competitive compensation with performance-based earning potential.
  • Consistent and timely payments.
  • Flexible schedule—work on your own time, from anywhere.
  • Remote freelance position.

Experience and Skills

  • Educational background in journalism, communications, or a related field.
  • Minimum of 2 years’ experience writing editorial content, ideally in the entertainment space.
  • Excellent grasp of pop culture and strong familiarity with the entertainment landscape.
  • Comfort with SEO principles and headline strategy, including keyword integration and audience-first framing.
  • Prior experience with CMS (WordPress or similar preferred).
  • A collaborative and proactive work ethic.
  • We’re looking for ambitious, high-volume writers who are eager to publish frequently and maximize their reach. With our sessions-based pay model, higher output leads to higher earnings.

    If you are interested in this role, please send us the following documentation by uploading it in the relevant fields below :

  • Your CV
  • A sample article similar in nature to the content published on Collider.
  • Our hiring team will review your application and contact you if we believe that your experience could be a match for this role.

    Please note that a writing evaluation may be required as part of our application process.
