Overview
Based in our Melbourne office, 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. Whether you're breaking down seasonal edits, styling looks on set or fronting a TikTok "how-to-wear-it" clip, you'll bring fashion to life in a way that feels engaging, achievable and culturally relevant. This role is as much about being seen as an expert as it is about creating. You'll need to shine on-camera, drive conversation across social and set the bar for fashion authority in the Australian market.
