Ready for your next career move? Maybe the Head of Editorial Content for US Vogue is the position for you.
The hiring process has begun for Anna Wintour 's highly-coveted role at Vogue after the style icon stepped down from one of her positions at the fashion bible following 37 years at the helm.
While it's expected that a high-profile editor already known to the company is likely to be appointed the position, job seekers were amused to find Condè Nast are advertising the role to the public on LinkedIn.
The position was posted on the social networking platform, which is specifically designed for professionals, and shared by the official Condè Nast account.
Featuring a collage of pink couture dresses in various shades, the banner across the center read: 'We are hiring.'
'Condè Nast is hiring a Head of Editorial Content for US Vogue,' the accompanying text read, along with an email to send resumes to.
While it's not unusual for roles to be shared on the platform, the seniority and prestige of the role being shared to the general public had prospective applicants amused.
'Crying at Condè Nast pretending to consider applications for the top Vogue job from people on LinkedIn,' one user posted, sharing a screenshot to X, formerly known as Twitter.
'Acting like they're not finishing up negotiations with the candidate already,' one user joked in response.
'What if all of this is just marketing for Devil's Wear Prada 2?' chimed in another.
'So weird seeing this role advertised, I thought it would have been recruited behind closed doors,' observed another.
Someone else agreed, writing: 'Can't wait for us to hear about the replacement they 100% selected before posting this and we find out it's a big name who probably hasn't seen a job application in decades.'
'A million girls would kill for this job,' wrote another, using an iconic line from The Devil Wears Prada, said to be based off Wintour herself.
Last week, Wintour told staffers that she will be hiring a new head of editorial content at American Vogue.
She will continue to hold her position as Condé Nast's global chief content officer and global editorial director at Vogue, and the new head of editorial content will report directly to her.
As chief content officer, Wintour oversees every brand globally, including Wired, Vanity Fair, GQ, AD, Condé Nast Traveler, Glamour, Bon Appetit, Tatler, World of Interiors and Allure - among others.

Wintour first became editor in chief of Vogue in 1988 and is credited with completely transforming the famed fashion magazine.
She is also behind making the Met Gala what it is today - a red carpet event attended by the fashion elite, as she handpicks the celebrities and makes sure to greet them personally.
Wintour's first job was on the now-defunct Harpers & Queen. Before she took over at Vogue as editor-in-chief, she was its creative director.
She then went back home to British Vogue, where she served as editor-in-chief from 1985 to 1987, before rejoining American Vogue.
Her famed covers included appearances from A-listers such as Oprah Winfrey, Madonna, Ivana Trump, Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington and Cindy Crawford.
