  • Communicate openly and actively with the editorial team

Requirements

  • A passion for the content and a drive to grow within the industry

What Screen Rant has to offer:

  • Fully remote — write from wherever you’d like!
  • Incredible opportunities for career growth within a supportive system
  • An amazing community of like-minded people to nerd out with on a daily basis
