  • Work closely with SEO and PR teams and marketing analysts to develop strategy

What We're Looking For:

  • Ability to collaborate with content and marketing teams
  • Ability to manage details and multiple projects while responding to changing priorities and feedback
  • Passionate about content creation and have a track record of coming up with innovative approaches to complicated topics
  • Familiarity with AP style and using content style guides
