Full job description

Role: National Staff Writer
Manager: Managing Editor, Daily Hive
Department: Daily Hive Editorial
Location: Toronto
Salary Range: $55,000 - $60,000

Who We Are
ZoomerMedia owns and operates media across all platforms — TV, radio, print and digital — through leading brands: blogTO, Daily Hive, Curiocity, The Peak, MobileSyrup, Vision TV, The New Classical 96.3 FM, Zoomer Radio, Zoomer Magazine, the Canadian Association of Retired Persons (CARP), and more. Founded by television and media icon Moses Znaimer in 2008, Zoomer is a multiplatform media company devoted to creating content and experiences for Canada's most powerful audiences: the 18.1 million people aged 45-plus aka "Zoomers", and the 15.1 million Millennials and Gen Zs, coincidentally also called Zoomers, who follow in their footsteps.

Curiocity Media Group (CMG) , part of ZoomerMedia, is one of Canada’s leading digital media publishers, helping millions of people discover the best of their city and beyond through engaging, hyper-local content and brand partnerships. We combine editorial excellence, data-driven storytelling, and a distinctly fun, approachable voice to deliver campaigns that perform for both clients and audiences.

About the Role
As a National Staff Writer, you'll help define the voice of Daily Hive across Canada. You'll chase stories with impact, break down complex issues for a digital audience, and produce compelling journalism that people want to read and share. You will come up with original ideas and get familiar with our ongoing successful formats
The ideal candidate learns quickly and has good pattern recognition. They understand data and analytics tracking and are familiar with Search Engine Optimization. They should be organized and work with our local desks. An understanding of Google Discover is an added bonus.
The national writer will cover a wide range of topics, from major national stories and policy shifts to uniquely Canadian cultural moments, with accuracy, speed, and personality. This role demands strong editorial judgment, a digital-first mindset, and the ability to balance quick-turn news hits with deeper enterprise features.
Experience supporting video shoots through camera operation, lighting, audio setup, or production assistance is considered a strong asset.

What You’ll Do

Pitch, research, and write timely stories on major Canadian news, trends, and issues.
Respond quickly to developing stories, ensuring accuracy, clarity, and speed.
Craft articles optimized for Canada's online audiences, including SEO-friendly headlines, engaging hooks, and formats.
Create articles based on breaking news and the “after-story.”
Partake in maintaining a team calendar of upcoming themes and events that could be covered
Spot national conversations unfolding online and turn them into compelling, timely stories.
Ensure accuracy, fairness, and adherence to Daily Hive's editorial standards.
Work closely with the National team and broader editorial team to refine pitches, angles, and story execution.
Build relationships with experts, officials, and community voices across Canada.
Monitor web and social performance and adjust content strategies based on audience engagement and analytics
Attend events, previews, and openings, creating content in real time or shortly after, with flexibility for evenings and weekends (always for fun)
Build relationships with venues, PR reps, and event organizers as a trusted, professional representative of the brand.
Collaborate with our editorial, social, and video teams, giving and receiving feedback, and helping test new ideas and series.
Assist our video team by writing scripts for your articles (a few each week). Being comfortable with being on screen is an added advantage, but not a mandatory requirement.

The responsibilities outlined in this job description are not exhaustive and are subject to change based on business needs, organizational priorities, and the employee’s development. The employee may be asked to take on additional tasks or responsibilities as required.

What You Bring

4+ years in a newsroom or digital media environment.
Strong writing skills and the ability to write clean, compelling copy under tight deadlines.
Comfort with CMS platforms, analytics tools, and social media ecosystems
A deep understanding of Canadian news, politics, culture, and regional dynamics.
Adaptability is key. The media is constantly evolving.
Commitment to responsible reporting and editorial integrity.

What We Offer:

Flexible paid time off policy to ensure you're able to get the break you need and work at an optimized level.
Opportunity for both professional and personal growth.
Hybrid work environment.
Benefits package including dental, vision, and extended health starting after 3 months.

***Please submit your resume in PDF format only. ***
We are committed to a fair and transparent recruitment process. ZoomerMedia does not use artificial intelligence to screen, assess, or make decisions regarding candidates — all applications are reviewed by our Human Resources team.
This is an existing position within the organization.
ZoomerMedia Limited is an organization that values creativity, innovative thinking, inclusion and diversity. We offer a great opportunity to work alongside passionate and intelligent individuals, and are proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. If you require accommodations during the selection process, please contact us at [email protected] (mailto: [email protected]).
