We’re hiring: two great job opportunities at Executive Traveller

By David Flynn, October 6 2021
Executive Traveller is growing – and we’re looking for two talented journalists to become part of the team.
With over one million readers each month, Executive Traveller is not only Australia’s largest independent travel website but also the world’s leading website for business travellers, premium leisure travellers and frequent flyers.
We’re now hiring for two full-time roles of Editor and Senior Journalist.
Both roles not only let you work from home, they are location-independent: while we prefer candidates from Oceania, we’ll consider strong candidates located elsewhere.
