Additionally, this editor will work with the rest of the digital team to ensure that all the content being produced is optimized for social and search. This role isn’t just about analytics, though the ability to interpret insights is certainly required—it’s about thinking about the Men’s Health brand in a big-picture way, and how to best leverage and guide its content across our various distribution channels.

This position reports to the executive editor, digital, of Men’s Health as well as the editor in chief. Please note: For consideration, candidates must submit a resume in PDF format with a cover letter, salary requirements, and a link to a portfolio of work.

What you'll do:

• Interpret analytics and educate the Men’s Health team on the development and implementation of these strategies, and help them pitch and assign stories that are optimized based on these insights
• Ensure that Men’s Health social feeds are optimized to maximize traffic, engagement, and other KPIs at all times
• Brainstorm large-scale projects (editorial, social, and video-based) that reach new audiences, engage loyal ones, and make waves in the industry
• Work across departments (including the in-house video team, print, sales, etc.) to develop and execute creative rollout plans for key brand events, editorial initiatives, and partnerships
• Broker and manage relationships that work to expand the Men’s Health audience and content portfolio
• Help manage and train junior-level editors and writers in the art and science of content strategy

Who you are:

• You have 3 to 5 years of professional, post-grad experience working with social media and analytics at an editorial digital brand
• You understand analytics and how to mine them for editorial opportunities
• You are a sharp, witty writer and know how to hook readers with your headlines
