Leveraging an email-first strategy, we reach more than 3 million subscribers across our network of publications — and we’re growing every day.

About the Role

As a Staff Editor, you will lead the editing and feature writing for Optimism’s latest brand, How Everything Works. You will work closely with our in-house editorial team and freelance writers to ensure the content we publish is clear, accurate, and engaging, looking for new, exciting stories to send to our millions of subscribers. Your day-to-day will include editing content for publication, commissioning and writing stories, and overseeing and organizing the production of content on How Everything Works. You will work with our established roster of freelance contributors and look to expand that pool, bringing on writers with subject matter expertise. You will also build content within our CMS and work with our Campaign team to schedule the sending of our content via email.

• Data-Driven Decision-Making : You will use dashboards that highlight key performance metrics to make strategic decisions regarding new content. As an email-first publisher, metrics such as open rate and click-through rate (CTR) are extremely important, as are web-based metrics such as session duration.
