What You'll Be Doing

We're carving out a spot for a talented new Senior Editor to lead our talented content team - someone who can blend human creativity with smart AI tools to boost quality, consistency and productivity, without ever losing our distinctive brand voice.

• Write and Edit: Keep your editing and writing skills sharp, supporting the team as needed to meet publishing targets

You know your way around an editorial calendar, a style guide and a well-crafted narrative AND you love mentoring others to do their best work.

AI doesn't intimidate you - it excites you You've applied AI tools for ideation, outlining, research or editing so you know exactly where they shine (and where human judgement is irreplaceable).
