Content Editor

Human Interest

96d • $70,000 - $80,000

About The Position

We’re looking for a data- and detail-obsessed content editor to refine and grow the Human Interest voice. You’ll help us set a new bar for content quality and data governance, while also helping us 10x production volume. Note: This is NOT a copywriting role. But you should have the chops to rewrite a headline, rework an operational email, and drive narrative consistency. We’ve already laid the foundation for our content and editorial programs at Human Interest; now it’s time to scale our data program quickly and strategically. You’ll liaise between Marketing, Sales, Legal, Finance and Data teams to analyze, manage, and document troves of data—i.e., customer data, industry surveys, and third-party sources—to identify trends and summarize findings. You’ll serve as an organizational gatekeeper by editing and fact-checking content across the entire customer lifecycle (i.e., customer notifications, support articles, data reports, landing pages, blogs, etc.). You’ll know when to follow established standards and when to evolve processes, all while navigating the strict regulatory confines of the financial industry (and you welcome this as a creative challenge, not an obstacle). You can catch grammatical mistakes from a mile away and coach teammates to avoid similar mistakes. You have a baseline knowledge of regulatory compliance (a background in finance, fintech, or a regulated industry is ideal) and know how to work across creative and technical teams. You have a passion for fact-checking claims, organizing information, and upholding strict standards of precision. You’re adept at analyzing and synthesizing vast amounts of data from multiple sources and uncovering compelling storylines for upcoming content and campaigns. You can move fast while elevating our standards and inspiring others to follow.
