Content Development Editor

What You'll Do

• Produce or surface content that moves our Community to take ownership of their spiritual growth and build consistent Bible habits.
• Create or curate written copy in features such as Verse of the Day Stories or Guided Prayer and other short-form pieces of content to flow together toward user engagement and retention.
• Search our extensive library and handpick content, like devotional Plans, to feature in a variety of high-visibility spots in the app.
• Own the final proof for all daily content on the app’s English homepage, because you absolutely refuse to let typos or grammatical errors see the light of day.
• Research strategies, felt needs, in-app user data, and cultural trends to create targeted, effective content.
• Reflect on the disciplines the historical church has leveraged to grow spiritually and explore ways to incorporate those practices into our app features.
• Learn from the ways other apps employ daily content journeys and analyze how to leverage them to apply to life-change, even outside of an app.
• Coordinate with contractors, interns, and volunteer writers to ensure all daily content needs are met and submitted on time.
• Ensure all written English assets are distributed to the right places in time for the volunteer localization process.
• Be the available resource for content partnership managers who may request occasional writing support for major communications to partners.
• Serve as the "second set of eyes" on high-impact content partner communications for alignment with brand voice, style, and standard English.
• Provide occasional scriptwriting support for original video or audio content.
