Eyes On Eyecare

8d • Remote

About The Position

As VP of Content, you’ll lead the content & publishing department as both a visionary leader and a modern media and editorial operator. You’ll set the strategy and standards for what we publish, and you’ll ensure our work reaches the right clinicians through the channels that matter now (and the ones that are rapidly emerging).

The VP of Content owns the full content ecosystem at Eyes On Eyecare—setting strategy and direction across our core pillars (Resources, Glance, Course, and Events) and extending that work into off-platform and emerging channels (social media, partnerships, and future content experiences).

Your job is to turn market signals into priorities, priorities into publishing systems, and publishing systems into measurable impact for the profession and the business. If you love high-quality editorial work and you’re energized by the challenge of building content engines and teams that thrive amid platform change, this role will feel like home.

• Strong fluency in how AI is changing content discovery and production (e.g., AI search, answer engines, workflow augmentation)

Responsibilities

• Own a proactive, long-range editorial and programming calendar across Resources, Glance, Courses, and Events—setting themes, priority windows, and the “big bets” well in advance based on market signals, internal intelligence, and audience needs

• Select and manage program chairs and top-level faculty strategy; establish repeatable programming frameworks that ensure credibility and educational quality

• Be the key partner & contact for OD and MD Key Opinion Leaders in order to build and scale great programs with their support.
• Coordinate with Client Services and internal stakeholders on client-connected editorial work (topics, KOLs, timelines, interdepartmental communication)
• Build and maintain operating systems that make content production predictable, scalable, and high-quality while embracing AI in back-end workflows.
