Review and edit stories from brand and nonprofit newsroom clients for accuracy, style, and fit with Stacker's publisher network.

Work with clients on light revisions, clarifications, and factual questions to get stories syndication-ready.

Identify minor process inefficiencies in the editing pipeline and suggest improvements.

Prioritize and edit multiple stories at once to keep pace with a fast-moving, newswire publishing schedule.

You move quickly without cutting corners, balancing the pace of a deadline-oriented newswire environment with the judgment needed to protect editorial integrity.

You understand that editing brand and nonprofit-submitted content is different from editing traditional newsroom copy: you know how to communicate editorial standards clearly and professionally to clients in a way that respects their goals while optimizing their stories for pickup by newswire publishing partners. You're comfortable digging into the data behind a data-driven story and flagging issues with methodology when something doesn't hold up.
