- Serve as the team’s reliable source of truth on project status, ensuring colleagues have full visibility into history, outstanding items, and upcoming deadlines
- Plan and facilitate project meetings (kickoffs, status check-ins), develop agendas, and distribute notes, decisions, and action items to relevant stakeholders
- Oversee day-to-day project workflows including file organization, naming conventions, version control, and document hand-offs

- Generate regular reports and status updates that surface project health and keep the Managing Editor and leadership informed

- Strong sense of ownership and follow-through; you close loops and don’t let things fall through the cracks
- Adaptable and composed under pressure; you recalibrate quickly without getting derailed when plans change
- Collaborative and communicative, with the ability to work effectively across a team in a fully remote environment
- A bachelor’s degree in a relevant field, or an equivalent combination of education and experience

- Demonstrated ability to manage multiple complex projects simultaneously with competing priorities and a track record of on-time delivery

- Proficiency in Google Workspace (Docs, Drive, Gmail: the core tools for day-to-day Editorial Team work)
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to communicate clearly and professionally with internal team members, leadership, and external stakeholders
- Demonstrated ability to work effectively in a collaborative, mission-driven environment where adaptability and resourcefulness are essential
