Frieze is looking for a full-time assistant editor to join our content division in New York.
At Frieze, editors work collaboratively across offices in New York, London and Berlin to produce essays, profiles, interviews, reviews, video and live events that elevate artists’ voices and the stories they want to tell. While remaining attuned to the uniqueness of the arts landscape, Frieze editors strive to tell the stories that emerge from galleries, museums and studios to general audiences, using language that balances literary flair with academic rigor. Across publications and digital platforms, Frieze editors bring together the provocative, brilliant and leading voices who shape – and challenge – today’s art world.
The Assistant Editor will help galvanize our audience through great reviews of leading and newly emerging galleries in the Americas. The Assistant Editor will coordinate with the Senior Editor and Associate Editor in New York, as well as with the production, design and marketing teams in London and Berlin to conceive and execute reviews for audiences around the world, but especially in the US. The Assistant Editor will also commission and collaborate on related content for Frieze Week, Frieze Masters and frieze.com

- Discover new, dynamic voices from the Americas that expand the magazine’s voice while cultivating relationships with existing artists and writers.
- Work across the content division to produce ambitious, collaborative editorial projects – including video and events – with the New York-based team.
Experience:
- 2+ years of experience as an editor in arts, culture and news publications, with experience collaborating across digital and print media.
- Demonstrable knowledge of the North and South American art worlds, especially New York and Los Angeles. This includes galleries, museums, project spaces, artists and writers.
