Manage the product editorial calendar: You’ll organize a clear, consistent process for getting written content scheduled, created, and updated, including commissioning content from a pool of trusted freelancers. You’ll support other team members by creating streamlined workflows for publishing written content across our channels, and collaborate with channel owners, including our blog editors, social media managers, and education team.
