Content Editor

We're hiring. So I made a list because it's way more fun to read than a job description. If you think of another thing that makes a great editor, add it in the comments so we can keep the list going.

Our future branded content editor...

-Spends their morning coffee me-time mentally rewriting subject lines. Considers sending feedback. (Doesn't.)

-Turns feature-heavy marketing copy into human.

-Can tell the difference between "good" and "don't you dare touch another word." (Says that last part out loud.)

-Knows the difference between visually busy and visually interesting.

-Was briefly bothered by the repeated use of "difference." Feels better now.

-Has already gone through the three stages of AI adoption: Slightly offended. Cautiously curious. Officially converted after AI pulled all their email performance data into one glorious spreadsheet.

If this sounds like you or someone you know, let me know!

Babylist is a great place to work. You'll be challenged, you'll grow, and you'll be surrounded by incredibly talented people. And if none of that convinced you, our next offsite is on a beach in Mexico. 🌴

What the Role Is

Babylist is looking for an experienced Branded Content Editor who owns sponsored email from start to finish and leads how our team uses AI to build and scale that work.

This is a writing and editing role first and foremost, one that requires equal parts creativity and love of process (we know you're out there!). You're writing and designing on one hand, managing deadlines and multiple projects on the other. And if you had a third hand, it'd be dedicated to Slack. It's where we connect, solve problems, share wins, and send all the emojis.

Who You Are

• Gets a genuine kick out of finding exactly the right words. Clever subject lines, unexpected word combos, copy that earns the click.
• Exceptional writer and editor with a sharp brand voice. Writes fast and accurately, and can adapt a message to meet client and user needs without losing Babylist's tone.
• Fluent in AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.) for research, outlining, data collection, automations, and more to improve the team's production workflows.
• Proficient in Figma, comfortable building and QA'ing email.
• Data-driven, reads performance data and knows how to act on it.
• Systems-oriented, spots bottlenecks and builds solutions.
• Natural relationship builder, treats cross-functional partnerships as essential to getting the best work done.
• Clear communicator, knows when to flag an issue, when to push back, and when to let it go.
• Handles client and legal revisions efficiently and protects the user experience.
• 4+ years writing and editing branded content, or at a digital publisher or media company.
• You naturally reach for AI in your work. At Babylist, every team uses AI daily. You're already using it to move faster and improve your output, and you stay curious about what's coming next.
  

How You Will Make An Impact

• Write, edit, build in Figma, and QA branded email before it ships.
• Set and document the standards for branded email: voice, quality, and production process.
• Develop AI-assisted workflows that reduce manual production time across the team.
• Coach the team on how to use AI tools you discover and develop so everyone levels up.
• Pull and analyze email performance data; use what you learn to adjust copy and hit benchmarks. Report monthly.
• Manage multiple assignments simultaneously and hit deadlines in a high-volume environment.
• Flex into other branded content as priorities shift: articles, newsletter placements, feed copy.

About Compensation

We use a market-based approach to compensation. The starting salary range for this role is:

$119,852 to $143,839

Your starting salary will be based on your location, experience, and qualifications, with increases over time tied to performance, role growth, and internal pay equity.
