We are looking for a highly creative and detail-oriented Editorial Content Writer to produce daily, SEO‑optimized articles across our core content pillars. You will play a critical role in shaping our editorial voice, delivering engaging content that resonates with anime fans, pop‑culture communities, and search‑driven audiences.

This is a fast‑paced, high‑output role suited for someone who thrives on storytelling, research, and staying ahead of anime news and trends.

• Maintain a consistent brand voice and editorial quality across all published articles.

SEO & Performance

• Conduct keyword research to identify high‑value topics and ranking opportunities.
• Optimize content for search intent, readability, competitiveness, and internal linking.
• Monitor article performance (CTR, rankings, read time) and adjust content strategy accordingly.

Research & Trend Analysis

• Stay updated with anime releases, streaming schedules, manga news, industry events, and community discussions.
• Validate information through credible sources to ensure accuracy.
• Identify emerging topics to support trend‑driven content planning.

Editorial Workflow

• Collaborate with the editorial lead to build and refine monthly editorial calendars.
• Manage content drafts, revisions, and deadlines with consistency.
• Ensure all content meets publishing standards including grammar, clarity, structure, and originality.

What We’re Looking For

• A strong writing portfolio, ideally featuring anime, pop culture, entertainment, or gaming content.
• Ability to write quickly and consistently without sacrificing quality.
• Proven experience with SEO writing, keyword tools, and content optimization.
• Ability to research deeply and understand fan sentiment, tropes, and trends.
• Comfortable producing content daily to meet publishing schedules.

Nice‑to‑Have

• Experience in digital media, editorial teams, or content agencies.
• Familiarity with anime genres, fandom culture, and online community behavior.
• Basic understanding of analytics tools (GA4, Search Console, Ahrefs, SEMrush).
• Comfort with image sourcing and simple visual storytelling concepts.

How We Measure Success

• Steady daily article output.
• Growth in organic search traffic.
• Strong engagement and reader retention.
• High‑performing evergreen articles (rankings, lists, discovery content).
• Minimal editing needed and reliable turnaround times.

Why You’ll Love Working With Us

• Contribute to one of the most exciting growing anime editorial ecosystems.
• Enjoy creative freedom to pitch new topics, formats, and content ideas.
• Join a passionate team that loves anime, storytelling, and community‑building.
