About the role
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
