We’re looking for someone with a keen eye for what’s going in Bangkok, humor, and sharp writing skills to join our editorial team as a full-time Associate Editor.
Responsibilities:

- Contacting and reaching out to subjects in the local news for interviews and comments.
- Aggregating and rewriting stories from various sources.
- Translating Thai text to English from press releases, statements from companies and officials, social media posts, and Thai media reports.
- Managing social media — with an emphasis on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Requirements:
- A university degree and at least one year of editorial experience is preferred.
- A Thai national with high fluency in both written and spoken English and Thai. A solid writer with a unique voice and sense of humor.
- Knowledge of Wordpress, social media management, basic photo-editing skills, and Google Docs.
- Experience in photography and videography is a plus. We also appreciate those who know basic HTML and can generate/fix embed codes with ease.
- Mandatory, five day-a-week attendance in our Chidlom office. This is not a remote position or a part-time position.
Please email your cover letter, CV, and writing samples in English to the editorial department, at bangkok@coconuts.co.
