The Opportunity:
Popular Photography is looking for a consumer-tech editor to help build the brand’s product reviews coverage.

They should have a strong grasp on the products and innovations that have defined the landscape over the past decade and a keen eye for emerging trends and new categories. We want someone who’s as comfortable editing expert-written buying guides and reviews as they are digging in and testing a lens, camera, or backpack.
