Maintain strong relationships with writers, contributors, and customers

While you’re an editor first, you also take on the role of community-builder. Responding to pitches via email, DMs, and LinkedIn InMails can get exhausting, but keeping up with your responses will make community-building a breeze.

• Respond to client and customer emails within a 10-day window
• Identify and document milestones for contributors (I.e. pitch accepted/rejected, editing, etc)
• Ensure writers always have authority over their content by being transparent with your edits and suggestions

Ensure base-level content guidelines are met – then go above and beyond

Managing Editor might not be synonymous with “perfectionist,” but it should be! Your goal is to ensure content is as engaging, clear, and unique as possible.

• Use the target keyword in the title and the main header, but don’t stuff the content with it for every published piece
• Do thorough edits for grammatical and spelling issues, structural issues, on-page SEO issues, and design issues for every published piece
• Always choose images that align with the content and reflect its intent
• Run all content through a plagiarism-checking software to ensure originality
