• Perform final quality checks on layout, references, and citations for readability and compliance.

• Generate, document, and manage app deeplink source of truth for the Hims and Hers apps, plus linking target updates for the SEO team.

• Maintain and update content databases with new and existing content, managing supporting documentation and ensuring all information is accurate and up-to-date.

• Track deadlines, manage project timelines, and keep stakeholders informed of progress.

• Help refine and document editorial workflows, contributing ideas to improve efficiency and clarity.

You Have:

• 2–3 years of editorial, writing, and content management experience (health content preferred; app content a plus).
