Editor & Content Strategist

In our business, it's all about content. Want to rank well in Google? You need great content. Want to spread virally across the social networks? Content. Want to engage visitors on the website? Content. 

We generate all sorts of content: blog posts, tweets, buyer's guides, e-books and community-generated content. What we're doing is working well, but now we need to scale. To scale, we need editorial talent to help us research, write and publish outstanding content. 

We're looking for an experienced editor who can manage an editorial calendar, edit copy for detail, and coach a young team of writers - all wrapped up in a personality that loves the pace and challenges of a small, growing company. 

On Tuesday mornings, you'll lead our editorial meeting, ensuring content is on schedule, while helping our team conceive of their next great story ideas. A lot of these ideas are blog posts, but there will also be info-graphics, buyer's guides and research reports. For the rest of the week, you'll help the team dig up sources, refine their theses, write beautiful prose, and get it all out the door in a professional format. 

Sound like a tall order? We need someone with the:
creativity to conceive of great content ideas;
skills to write beautifully, and teach that skill to others;
journalism background to share with our young team; 
business experience to inform a wide range of story ideas; and,
processes discipline to keep the editorial trains running.

We're thinking our ideal candidate has ten years of experience in journalism or other editorial functions. Being a good writer is not enough. A firm grasp of business concepts is a must, as we write on a diverse set of topics. We will consider other content marketing backgrounds, as long as you possess excellent research, writing and business experience.
