INSTYLE and Styleicons, Australia’s leading hairdressing industry magazine of 35 years and its online counterpart, is looking for a dynamic writer, hair and beauty lover and editorial aficionado to join their team. This role will be for 2.5 days a week with a combination of working from the office and home, as well as some event attendance. The role offers potential scope for some travel and expansion.

The Role
The candidate will be required to contribute content to both print and online and regularly report on events and new product launches. Social media skills and interest are also preferable to keep our various audiences consistently up to date when necessary and experience in beauty media offers a strong advantage.
