At AOL, we're in the business of making the Internet better — period. Through innovation and creativity, we've raised the bar and set the standard for what we believe high quality content is on the Internet. Our content sites and products allow more than 250 million visitors around the world to access the best collection of journalists, artists and musicians on the web. Our central Dublin office is home to our technical hub, the development engine of AOL in Europe, with exciting projects and global reach. We offer challenging opportunities that allow you to apply your creativity develop your skills and build your career.

At Autoblog, we obsessively follow and analyze automotive trends, drive and review the latest cars, and highlight the newest car-related technology. We present that obsession in the form of written news, videos, immersive VR experiences, social media posts, high-quality photography, and new and used car shopping tools.

As Associate Editor, your work will reach a massive audience of car nuts, industry watchers, and those looking to make their next vehicle purchase. You will play a large pat in Autoblog’s growth, and your work will reach a borad swath of readers, from core automotive enthusiasts to a wider general audience interested in cars. Duties include finding and relating important automotive news, coming up with new and exciting ways to present written and video content, building and editing stories in the CMS, scheduling the test car fleet, as well as managing freelance pitches. The ability to thrive and succeed in a fast-paced news environment is required.

• Know the difference between a CMS and a PDK, and how to work with each one
• Are passionate about sharing your work and are savvy about Facebook/Twitter/Instagram and other social platforms.
• Aren’t afraid to get in front of the camera, or help the team behind it
• Believe that teamwork makes the dream work, even if it sounds cheesy
