  • The Senior Editor owns the full editorial workflow, from brief creation to final publish, using a proprietary AI platform to scale high-quality, patient-facing healthcare content across a large and rapidly growing topic library.
Job Summary
  • Write content briefs for every piece entering the production pipeline, framing the patient action and journey stage each page must serve.
  • Review and QA Editor-finalized drafts against the brief, editorial standards, and brand voice framework before publication.
  • Own the publish decision for all content, including new pages and existing-content test variants, maintaining a single publishing standard.
  • Document AI platform output quality over time, capturing issues caught at edit, draft patterns, and refinements to support model improvement and editorial accountability.

  • Background in content operations or managing editor-level roles at a large-scale digital health or SEO content organization.
