Remote work is an option for this position.

• Pitch, report, and write stories on the classic car market for insider.hagerty.com
• Assist in all aspects of making daily content—editing, photo research, WordPress production, and creation of simple infographics
• Stay on top of what’s happening in the collector car world—if there’s a record sale on Bring a Trailer, you should be the first to know about it

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Ability to multitask and meet deadlines in a fast-paced work environment
