Senior Editorial Director

Role Description

MyHealthTeam is looking for a Senior Editorial Director to lead the people and standards behind our content. A big part of this role is helping MyHealthTeam advance our use of AI in content development. That means hands-on experimentation, building team fluency, and making smart calls about where AI helps and where human editorial judgment is non-negotiable.

We need someone who brings deep health content expertise, genuine enthusiasm for AI, and strong editorial leadership instincts. You’ll manage a team of about five developmental editors and five copy editors, reporting to the EVP of Content.

What you'll do

• Lead, mentor, and manage a team of developmental and copy editors, setting clear expectations, running regular 1:1s, and supporting career development.
• Build a culture of editorial excellence, curiosity, and continuous improvement across the team.
• In collaboration with the Director of Content Integrity, own editorial quality across our article portfolio: voice, structure, accuracy, and tone.
• Actively champion and experiment with AI tools for content development, editing workflows, and quality assurance.
• Help the broader content team build fluency and confidence with AI tools.
• Stay current on how AI is reshaping health content and bring that perspective to editorial strategy.
• Collaborate with the VP of Content Operations to ensure content is developed on time and within budget, with an eye on aggressive output goals.
• Partner closely with the SEO and CRM/Marketing teams to align editorial and distribution goals.
• Collaborate with the EVP of Content on longer-term editorial strategy and team development.

Qualifications

• 8+ years of editorial experience, including meaningful time managing editors.
• Expertise in health content, ideally patient-facing or consumer health, and a deep understanding for what this audience needs.
• Strong developmental editing instincts: you can assess structure, argument, and voice at the piece level and give feedback that makes editors and writers better.
• Comfortable working cross-functionally with SEO and marketing stakeholders while holding the line on editorial standards.
• A direct, thoughtful communicator with your team, your peers, and up.
• Fully remote-capable and experienced managing distributed teams.
• Willing to travel occasionally for team meetings and off-sites.
