Food Copy Editor

Food Copy Editor at Amazon (Whole Foods Market)

We’re on the quest for an amazing Food Copy Editor. You should be a highly-charged communicator with one hand in the cookie jar of Onsite Content Creation and another hand in culinary writing. What we desire: a Subject Matter Expert who revels in crafting and updating content for our food-focused website, while nurturing visitors in their inspired-led journeys that closely align with the Whole Foods Market brand.

We are not shy about our passion for nourishing people and the planet, and neither should you be. We are a selective and diverse group of writers who collaborate, consult, condense, review, and strategize with the intention of providing customer-obsessed communication.

You should have a portfolio of blow-me-away editorial food writing skills. Not the stuffy, white table-cloth kind of writing, but the approachable, next-door neighbor type of writing that showcases your love for the latest recipe, ingredient, restaurant, or hack. You must include your writing portfolio to help us learn more about your epic editorial skills.
