Overview
About the job: Howatson+Company is an advertising agency that's committed to expressing creativity in all its forms to positively influence people and culture. We are 100% carbon neutral and invest in training, generosity and recognising excellence in our people.
What's my job?
Based in Melbourne, we're searching for a Fashion Editor who is a true expert in style. You'll be the fashion voice for Howatson+Company's key client Myer, shaping how we tell stories across Instagram, TikTok and emerging platforms. Reporting to the Head of Content Strategy, you'll combine editorial expertise, sharp trend knowledge, strong styling skills and natural on-camera charisma to inspire Myer audiences. You'll break down seasonal edits, style looks on set or front a TikTok "how-to-wear-it" clip, bringing fashion to life in a way that is engaging, achievable and culturally relevant. This role is as much about being seen as an expert as it is about creating. You'll shine on-camera, drive conversation across social and set the bar for fashion authority in the Australian market.
