Content Operations Lead

Remote
Medium enables readers to become more informed and escape the filter bubbles that are all around us. We are building a better place for reading and writing on the internet—a place where today’s smartest writers, thinkers, experts, and storytellers can share big, interesting ideas; a place where ideas are judged on the value they provide to readers, not the fleeting attention they can attract for advertisers.

We are seeking a strategic, creative, and systems-minded manager to join our Content team to oversee all content and creator operations, including workflows, creator onboarding processes, support, payments, story production, launch calendars etc. We’re looking for someone passionate about both the written word and process, who understands how to build systems that can scale, and who is a master at organization and improving operations. Our Content team is focused on supporting Medium’s growing creator community, and will look to this role to create and scale systems to manage creator relationships. And as our strategy grows and evolves this role will determine the needs of the team and resourcing it accordingly. Interested in joining us?
