• Exceptional writing, editing, and proofreading skills with a keen eye for detail and accuracy. Ability to craft clear, compelling narratives and adapt tone for different channels and audiences.
• Solid understanding of SEO best practices and how to optimize content for web search (keywords, metadata) as well as for social media algorithms and email deliverability.
• Proficiency with content management systems (CMS) for publishing (e.g. WordPress) and CRM/email marketing platforms.
• Skilled in using Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.) as a thought partner to accelerate ideation, enhance content quality, and streamline development through effective prompt and context engineering.
• Excellent organizational and time‑management skills. Proven ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously without sacrificing quality.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills. Comfortable conducting interviews and interacting with team members at all levels. Able to build positive working relationships and communicate ideas effectively.
