About The Position

This role will own and operate content production for the Content Studio, translating partner goals into accurate, polished, and useful content for both the partner and the professional eyecare audience. The Managing Editor will be responsible for the quality, accuracy, voice, and on-time delivery of content.

The position reports to the VP of Content and works closely with Client Services, Sales, and the Content team.

Requirements

Approximately 8 years of experience in editorial, medical communications, healthcare publishing, content marketing, agency, or a related field.
Strong experience creating or editing medical, healthcare, or life-sciences content.
Experience working on client-facing, sponsor-supported, custom, branded, or content marketing materials.
Familiarity with AMA style and a demonstrated commitment to accuracy, clarity, and detail.
Strong editorial judgment, including the ability to recognize unsupported claims, overpromising, promotional language, and inappropriate sponsor influence.
Comfort participating in client calls and representing the content function with professionalism and confidence.
Strong project awareness and the ability to juggle multiple priorities without losing sight of deadlines or details.
Experience assigning, managing, or editing freelance writers or contractors.
Excellent communication skills across internal and external stakeholders, with a collaborative, practical, team-oriented working style.
The ability to operate independently in a growing function that will eventually include direct reports.

Nice To Haves

Familiarity with medical-legal / MLR review and the care required around regulated topics (e.g., prescription and DTC content).
Experience building templates, workflows, and quality standards for a new or growing content function.
Ophthalmology, optometry, or eyecare experience is welcome but not required; broader medical content experience is highly valued.
Comfort working in a fast-moving, technology-forward healthcare media or education company.

Responsibilities

Own editorial production for client-related and client-adjacent content, from concept and outline through draft, packaging, and final delivery.
Create, edit, and deliver high-quality medical and professional content on behalf of clients — to standard, and on the dates revenue depends on.
Translate client goals into content concepts and deliverables that are accurate, useful, audience-appropriate, and strategically aligned.
Partner with Client Services as they quarterback timelines, client expectations, and project flow — translating client goals and media-buyer pressures into work the team can actually execute.
Join and contribute to client calls, including brainstorms, kickoffs, check-ins, and content development conversations.
Represent the content function with professionalism and confidence, speaking fluently between Content, Client Services, and clients.
Decide what you take on yourself and what you assign out — and to whom — acting as the assignment editor across our content bench and freelance network.
Source, brief, and manage freelance writers, contractors, and KOLs, holding them to the Studio's quality bar. Be ready to work with some of the top medical leaders of the profession.
Proactively surface risk related to timelines, scope, medical accuracy, or client expectations before it becomes a problem.
Uphold medical-content rigor across every deliverable: AMA style, factual precision, and careful language.
Hold the firewall between sponsor-supported content and independent content, and protect that line even under deadline and revenue pressure.
Recognize and redirect unsupported claims, overpromising, promotional creep, and inappropriate sponsor influence.
Shepherd works through medical-legal / regulatory review where the subject matter requires it.
Establish the repeatable templates, workflows, and quality standards that make excellent output predictable as volume grows.
Help define how the Studio operates day to day, and hire, onboard, and lead direct reports as the function expands.
