First, About the role:
LendingTree is seeking a deputy editor focused on insurance to join our SEO editorial team. This is an individual-contributor role that will partner closely with the team's in-house and contributing editors and writers. We're especially interested in candidates who can speak to specific area(s) of insurance expertise — home, auto, health, or other lines — but who are also comfortable working across a wide range of insurance products.
Second, Responsibilities: combine How You'll Make an Impact paragraph and What You'll Do list.
How You'll Make an Impact paragraph: "As deputy editor, you will assist with the full editorial process: assigning, editing, and publishing. You'll partner with writers and other editors to sharpen content quality, substance, and style, and you'll oversee editorial workflows and publishing priorities, proactively resolving challenges, so that high-quality content ships on schedule. You may also write content yourself as needed. You'll also think beyond individual articles, understanding how each piece fits into the broader content library and contributes to the vertical's overall performance. This is an exciting opportunity to help shape and organize a rapidly expanding content library at a pivotal stage of growth. Serving as one of our in-house insurance specialists, your expert guidance will help readers make informed, confident decisions on insurance. There will be opportunities to speak externally to the media as an insurance authority as well."

- Occasionally speak externally to the media about our insurance content and research

We can put these in a .
Third, Requirements: What Will Help You Thrive list.
Items:
- At least 2 years of experience in personal finance or insurance content (editing experience preferred)
- Insurance experience — such as serving as a licensed insurance agent, holding a relevant certification, or extensively editing/writing about insurance — in one or more types (e.g., home insurance, car insurance, health insurance, business insurance, pet insurance, etc.)
- Impeccable organizational skills, with the ability to develop a strong command of a rapidly growing content library
- Experience with or interest in SEO best practices and strategies, and comfort acting as a go-to resource on SEO and content optimization for other writers and editors

Please do not apply for this role if you will need employer sponsorship now or in the future to begin or continue employment.
We could include these in Requirements as well, but maybe better to put them under Requirements (since they are requirements). However some are more like logistics (location, full-time). Could go under Schedule? But schedule is about full-time. Location maybe not schedule. Could be under Requirements as "Role-specific details". We'll include them in Requirements.
We need to avoid duplication: some items like organizational skills, SEO, feedback, writing skills, communication, ability to work independently etc already appear in Requirements list. We'll keep them.
We should not repeat same bullet points in Skills if we also have them in Requirements. But we can still have Skills section focusing on specific skill sets like SEO, spreadsheet, AI tools, organizational, writing/editing, communication, time-management, project leadership. However to avoid duplication, we could move some to Skills and keep Requirements focused on experience/qualifications. But the instruction says preserve all substantive info; duplication is okay as long as we don't invent or summarize away detail. It's okay to repeat? Might be redundant but not prohibited. However better to avoid redundancy but still preserve info. We could split: Requirements: experience and qualifications (years, insurance experience, cover letter, editing test, location, work auth). Skills: list of skills (organizational, SEO, feedback, writing/editing, communication, time-management, ability to work independently/collaboratively/lead multiple projects). Qualifications: preferred qualifications (project management/freelancer management, AI tools fluency, spreadsheet tools). Benefits: list. Pay: base pay and incentive. Schedule: full-time.
