- Manage production editorial timelines, ensuring copy is delivered accurately and on schedule
- Coordinate with photo, design, and production teams to ensure visual direction
- Support recipe development and food-related feature content as needed
- Participate in client-facing brainstorm calls and incorporate client and brand feedback into revisions
What we're looking for
- 5+ years of editorial experience, ideally in food, lifestyle, or retail/branded content
- Strong, clean writing and editing skills with the ability to match an established house voice
- Comfort working across multiple clients/brands with distinct tones and requirements
- Reliable under deadline pressure in a recurring editorial cycle (bi-monthly/monthly issue cadence)
- Collaborative, team-oriented approach; open to feedback and able to work well within a small team
- Experience with production editorial workflows a plus
- Comfortable working in Adobe InDesign for reviewing and editing copy in layout (no design work required, just editorial fluency in the file)
- Experience with Asana and Workfront or similar project management/workflow tools a plus
- Food industry, nutrition, or recipe development experience a major plus
