• Content creation:
  Consistently produce a demanding volume of deeply researched, fact checked, investigative and journalistic content about the trends, characters, companies, products, and media narratives at the broad intersection of tech, politics, and culture.
• Assist EIC and senior editorial staff in writing and producing (potentially multiple) newsletters on strict deadlines.
• Content Oversight:
  Manage and oversee the production of contributor content.
• Ensure all content meets the company's standards for quality, accuracy, and voice.
• Develop a stable of freelance contributors who you can hit up to get quick‑turnaround pieces on current topics published and distributed.
• Content Planning & Strategy:
  Work closely with the Editor-in-Chief and other vertical editors to shape the editorial calendar, planning content that aligns with industry events, trends, and Pirate Wires' objectives.
• Quality control:
  Edit all pieces to ensure all content – whether in-house or from contributors – adheres to Pirate Wires' standards and editorial guidelines.
• Analytics & Performance:
  Review content performance, using insights to inform future content decisions and strategies.

• Experience as an editor is preferred; you must show that your writing and style is a fit for the company.
