Join Flâneur

Neighborhood Editor

Freelance / Part-Time · ~5 hours/week · Monthly Retainer

Flâneur is a new mobile news product launching simultaneously in various cities globally. We are "Bloomberg meets Vogue" for the world's most vibrant neighborhoods.

We are looking for a Neighborhood Editor to be our eyes and ears on the ground. You are not aggregating press releases. You are walking the pavement. You will curate a daily feed of highly visual, hyper-local intelligence for affluent residents.

The Role

"You aren't writing long essays. You are walking the neighborhood, snapping photos of new store openings, spotting trends, and tracking local real estate. You are the eyes and ears of your neighborhood."

What You Will Do

  • 01

    Walk the beat

    Spend time walking the neighborhood 2-3 times a week.

  • 02

    Spot the details

    Notice the new bakery opening, the renovation starting down the street, or the change in local parking rules.

  • 03

    Snap and send

    Take high-quality photos on your phone and write 2-3 sentence "briefs" about what you see. A typical article contains 1-5 photos.

  • 04

    No long essays

    We value speed, wit, and aesthetics over word count. The average article is 300 words, ranging from 100-600 words. A single article may contain a series of brief updates or stories.

Who You Are

  • A Local

    You must live in or within walking distance of the neighborhood. Zip code verification required.

  • Visual

    You know how to frame a photo. Must have an iPhone 13 Pro or better—photography is 50% of the job.

  • Connected

    You know which restaurants are cool before they open.

  • Opinionated

    You have strong opinions about local coffee and architecture.

To Apply

Send a short email with:

  1. One paragraph about yourself
  2. Which neighborhood you want to cover
  3. The Test: Attach 2 photos of your neighborhood taken today
