About the Role:
The member content editor plays a key role in supporting all initiatives related to content on p2pi.org, with primary responsibility for maintaining our roughly 30 retailer profiles. The retailer profiles can be best explained as living encyclopedic entries that require constant tending to reflect the ever-changing retail landscape, encompassing a wide breadth of content ranging from a retailer’s marketplace position and strategy, to store formats and merchandising tactics, to loyalty programs and cause-marketing initiatives, to e-commerce capabilities and media opportunities.
Reporting to the Director of Member Content, you will keep up with a plethora of sources to stay up to date on any relevant information about the retailers we cover. Your role as the de facto warden of the retailer profiles includes both ensuring the integrity of our existing lineup, as well as adding new retailers to the mix. You’ll work independently and use your critical thinking skills to incorporate emerging information into the retailer profiles in a timely manner, as well as eliminate outdated information, all while maintaining a seamless and fluid narrative as well as a high standard of excellence in work product. You will also lean on your fact-finding skills to actively seek out new sources of difficult-to-find information as well as identify and execute opportunities to present certain information within the profiles in a more streamlined and digestible manner, including infographics, charts, tables, etc. as appropriate.
Beyond your primary retailer profile responsibility, you will also work closely with the editorial team - as well as liaison with the membership and events teams - to contribute articles, meet with members, weigh in on research, and conduct other tasks as needed.
