Description
We're looking for a content strategist who will lead innovation and develop content strategy and implementation across our network of print and online platforms.
Our mission
We're on a mission—a mission to arm families with information and tools they need to make more intelligent decisions. Specifically, we guide families on their choice of private schools, summer camps, and retirement communities. Today, well over two million families use our platforms each year to discover, analyze, compare, and choose services.

The role involves innovating, planning, designing, creating, editing, and publishing content across print and online platforms. It involves managing other writers, and contributing to the formulation of our product strategy.
Your writing team (which you'll cultivate and manage) will consist both of in-house and freelance talent. Outside of your team, you'll work with a head of product and strategy to maximize efforts on strategic vision, budget tracking and resource allocation, in addition to two product managers, and a marketing manager.
