• Experienced covering time-sensitive or high-visibility topics and meeting tight deadlines.
• Comfortable working in a highly collaborative environment and incorporating feedback from multiple stakeholders.

• Explain not just what happened, but why it matters, providing context and clarity for a broad employee and stakeholder audience.
• Collaborate with editors, designers, and multimedia partners to strengthen storytelling across formats and channels.
• Incorporate feedback efficiently, revising and editing under tight deadlines without losing clarity or accuracy.
• Uphold Zillow’s editorial standards and serve as a trusted writer on high-visibility or sensitive topics.
