Editorial Content Manager

About the Role

We’re looking for an Editorial Content Manager to join one of the most ambitious, hard-working brand teams. We’re truly obsessed with amplifying the stories of Healthcare Professionals (aka Awesome Humans), and the right candidate will be too. You’re a writer, editor, strategist, and content aficionado with deep opinions about omni-channel digital media (but you also love print for its tactile, beautiful, and immersive qualities). You’re culture-obsessed, wildly self-motivated, a brilliant collaborator, and super detail-oriented. You understand the need to adapt to new mediums while maintaining an unshakable conviction that the fundamentals of good storytelling never change.

Day to day, you’ll work hand-in-hand with our Impact and Marketing teams to develop and execute 360-degree content strategies and campaigns for our nonprofit, The Awesome Humans Foundation. You’ll also oversee the development of new digital and print assets (e.g., Substack, podcasts, a quarterly print publication) that support our core brand campaigns. This role reports directly to the Narrative Director.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of editorial experience, preferably in digital media (blogs, articles, long-form storytelling).
• Bachelor’s degree, preferably in English, Communications, or Journalism.
• Master’s degree in English, Communications, or Journalism is a strong plus.
• Experience in audio and visual storytelling, in addition to written content.
• Knowledge of print media production.
