Familiarity with QA processes and release planning

A collaborative, detail-oriented, and unflappable working style

Some technical literacy (HTML, JS, Python, APIs, CMSs)—enough to ask the right questions and understand tradeoffs

Bonus Points For

Exposure to publishing, subscriptions, ad campaigns, or digital media platforms

Experience in a startup or lean team environment

Familiarity with tools like Linear, Notion, Slack, GitHub, Figma

Basic coding skills, scripting experience, or a past life as a developer

Why This Role Matters

We’re a small team with a big surface area—covering editorial tools, SEO, subscriptions, email, internal dashboards, sales integrations, and more. To keep the business moving, we need someone who can  turn priorities into deliverables , support our developers, and help us scale our execution without dropping balls or burning out.
