• Coaching writers on best practices and community insights
• Track the growth of our loyal audience, and surfacing these metrics to editorial stakeholders.

WHO YOU ARE

• You know how to nurture smart, effective conversations
• You are open to working with employees at all levels, including executive leadership
• You have strong written and verbal communication skills
• You're able to manage multiple tracks of work at once, balancing both short-term and long-term projects simultaneously.
