As Bob Dylan once said, “The times they are a ‘changing”, and few industries are feeling the change as drastically as journalism. With newspaper circulations dwindling, the world has found a new source for its entertainment and information needs: the Internet. That’s where we come in.

Viral Thread currently gets over 1.5 million hits everyday from countries as far afield as Bolivia and Lithuania. Our readers come to us for a bit of a laugh and break from their day, sure, but we also want to be a credible media website producing quality features, investigative pieces and news articles.

That’s where you come in.

We’re looking for hard-working and intuitive writers who have a passion for story telling. Previous experience writing for the web is preferable, but the most important thing is that you’re the kind of person who is constantly coming up with new ideas and keeping their finger on the pulse with what’s going viral elsewhere.

Accordingly, we’re looking for writers who are active on social media, engaging with current affairs and always willing to state their opinion on any given topic. It would be preferable if you had at least a basic grasp of Photoshop and video editing software.

This is a unique opportunity to join one of the UK’s fastest growing companies. With an average age of 23, and based in London’s bohemian Shoreditch, we can offer a fun, dynamic environment unrivalled in the world of work.

We look forward to hearing from you.
