As much teacher as teammate, this person will review every piece of content — from an early outline to a nearly final draft — and use each review as an opportunity to encourage the writer and drive their continued growth in the craft.

- You're willing to help us create and improve existing processes and systems
This role's responsibilities include:
- Educating our writers around good content in form, structure and technical aspects in drafts, in live training sessions, and with other editors
- Write compelling long form content (when required)
- Providing support and constructive feedback to writers to help them improve their craft in drafts and one-on-one
- Improving existing editing processes
This role requires:

- Familiarity with email marketing, social media, and popular blogging platforms, and the different writing and stylistic requirements of each
