• Collaborate with our Brand, Creative, Marketing, Originals, Product, and Data teams to create high quality content that is relevant to our audience and demonstrates the value of Skillshare
• Create organizational workflows and uphold editorial governance to ensure all content is consistent with our brand voice, style, and tone 
• Optimize our content and publishing cadence on regular basis, based on the success of our programming as measured by engagement and conversion
• Upgrade and scale our channel infrastructure with SEO and content categorization best practices in mind
• Stay up-to-date on trends and algorithmic updates across channels to maximize our promotion efforts
• Plan and manage our social media presence and strategy
• Proactively identify and drive new tests on our channels
• Build and nurture a strong freelancer network to accelerate quality content creation

Why we're excited about you:

• You have experience owning and scaling social media and blog channels for a high-growth company
• You have demonstrated impact through building large, engaged online communities
• You’re a strong, versatile writer with experience writing across social media channels and blogs
• You’re a natural storyteller with great editorial judgment and strong visual aesthetic
• You are fluent in best practices around SEO, content categorization and structure, content development, distribution, and measurement
• You leverage insights for impact: you look at patterns in the data, synthesize insights, and use them to make content and conversion funnels stronger
• You’re a self-starter with a spirit of experimentation, always identifying opportunities to improve and test new ideas for our channels
• You have strong project management skills, with high attention to detail and accuracy
• Bonus: you have experience with video creation for social media and/or YouTube

Why you're excited about us:

• Impact: You’ll be the driving force behind the strategy and content for our owned channels, and a key stakeholder in making content marketing a reliable growth engine for Skillshare’s brand and business.
• Growth: You’ll have the opportunity to wear a lot of hats and take on more responsibility over time.
• Our team: We have a passionate, talented team that is a lot of fun to work with.
• Our mission: We’re doing work that matters – connecting lifelong learners around the world and empowering them to pursue their creativity.
