About this role

Job Summary


We're looking for a Managing Editor to run our online presence, including UATX's website, social media, email, and video. It's a hands-on job at the center of our communications work. You'll keep our channels active and sharp, and ensure everything we publish is accurate, timely, and sounds like us.


An Editorial Assistant will report to you, and you'll join a close team of five that works together collaboratively. You'll report to the Editor-in-Chief, who sets our content strategy and has the final say on what we publish. There's plenty of room to pitch ideas, try things, and grow.


This job suits someone who likes to write, is at least decent with technology, and can stay on top of a lot at once. One hour you're polishing a headline; the next you're pitching a Substack, fixing a broken link, or making sure a video shoot runs smoothly. You can take a project and run with it without much hand-holding, and you'd rather do a bit of everything than one thing. You'll have real freedom to bring your own ideas and shape how we work. If you love UATX, like variety, take pride in your work, and want a job where what you do shapes how people see us, you'll love it here.


Responsibilities


  • Run our social media day to day and help plan and run paid campaigns.

  • Review and polish long-form videos and academic lecture series. 

  • Handle Substack/email newsletters.

  • Solicit and review content from UATX students, faculty, staff, and high-profile guests. 

  • Keep UATX's website current and clean: update content, edit pages, catch problems, and help coordinate bigger projects with designers or developers.

  • Write and edit our digital content and reference materials—fact sheets, talking points, prep documents, etc.

  • Coordinate photo and video shoots, and strategize on what we should produce.

  • Work with outside vendors and partners, keeping projects on time and on budget.



Qualifications

 

  • Strong writing and editing, with a sharp eye for accuracy, a feel for how we sound, and a clear understanding of why we exist.

  • Experience running digital channels, and the willingness to learn new ones.

  • Great organizational skills, and the ability to juggle a lot at once.

  • Someone who works well with others and can move a project forward without being told how.
