You’ll operate as a highly autonomous editor in a fast-paced, high-trust environment where speed and editorial judgment are critical. You should be just as comfortable cutting a compelling sizzle reel on your phone between meetings as you are building a refined edit at your desk.

The content strategy will continue to evolve, so you should be excited by iteration, experimentation, and owning the editorial voice across platforms.
