    THE OPPORTUNITY

    Three Ships is seeking an Editor with excellent editorial, reading, writing, and organizational skills to be part of our growing team.

    THE ROLE

    You'll be responsible for delivering publication-ready content that is on-time, fully optimized for SEO and meets our marketing goals. You also enjoy writing; you may help create content, concepts and articles. In tandem, you may help to amplify the impact of those articles through content promotion and link building initiatives. You will have the opportunity to not only manage production of cutting-edge content, but you will also learn to report on the performance of your articles to determine the impact of your work. You maintain a high bar of excellence for each piece of content that gets your stamp of approval. You'll become an expert in digital and SEO content, staying on the cutting edge of best practices.

    As an Editor, you will:

    • Ensure we have a strong understanding of what it takes to win organic search on our targeted keywords (keyword research, who are our competitors, what is Google rewarding, what do readers need to know, etc.).

    • Oversee content production through translating this knowledge into assignment briefs for freelancers and tightly managing content creation so it is on time and on budget.

    • Edit and proof articles for editorial excellence, search engine optimization, and CRO (Conversion Rate Optimization). Each piece must be optimized, targeted to meet our marketing goals, and delivered on time.

    • Recruit and manage expert freelance writers who will create high “E-A-T” (Expertness- Authoritativeness-Trustworthiness) content

    • Load and publish articles with a strong eye for CRO to maximize on-page conversions.

    • Create winning content that can be used to demonstrate our bar for excellence.

    • Support the amplification of content through content promotion and link-building campaigns.

    • Demonstrate a meticulous approach to your work, with a highly organized process and an unfailing eye for detail.

    • Track, measure, and report on production status and team capacity via a weekly forecast. Use these and other performance metrics (traffic, conversions, revenue, etc.) to inform our content strategy moving forward.

    • Help build the culture of a growing and fun growth-stage company.

    • Obsess over what type of content wins in search engines — read, learn, and follow search engine best practices; be a subject matter expert on what type of content wins; bring that point of view to our meetings

    WHAT YOUR BACKGROUND SHOWS:

    • BACHELOR'S DEGREE (Journalism, Communications, English or related field preferred).

    • 2-3 YEARS (3-7 YEARS FOR SR. COPY EDITOR) of digital editing or content production experience, (experience in Healthcare and SEO-focused content preferred, but not required).

    • EXCEPTIONAL ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND ORGANIZATIONAL SKILLS: You maintain a methodical process and high standard of excellence in your work while balancing multiple projects and meeting tight deadlines.

    • OWNERSHIP MENTALITY: You treat each content piece like it is your own and stand behind every word. You are comfortable putting your head down and producing excellent work without constant supervision.

    • AGILITY: You are comfortable in a fast-paced and often changing environment.

    • AN INHERENT DRIVE TO BE EXCELLENT: You are not satisfied with average. You do whatever it takes to get the job done at a world-class level and don't check out because it's 5 PM or a weekend. While we're looking for some specific experiences and skillsets, nothing is more important than a strong can-do attitude, resilience in the face of change and uncertainty, and a passion for learning and creating.

    WHAT'S AWESOME ABOUT BEING A COPY EDITOR HERE?

    • PEOPLE – Work with great people who are smart, nice, and ambitious.
