You will collaborate with the broader team to understand content performance, identify opportunities for improvement, and incorporate insights into future edits. This may include experimenting with different hooks, openings, pacing structures, visual treatments, captions, AI-generated elements, and content formats.The successful candidate will combine strong technical editing capabilities, creative judgment, understanding of digital audiences, AI fluency, attention to detail, and a genuine interest in creating content that performs. You should be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment, managing multiple deliverables, experimenting with new technologies, and maintaining a consistently high production standard.
