• Manage editorial calendars and collaborate with team members on project execution
• Develop innovative multimedia content - videos, webcasts, podcasts, and more - including recruiting and moderating speakers
• Represent WorkBoat at industry events, conferences, and site visits
• Collaborate with the WorkBoat Conference team on speaker selection, panel moderation, and speaker introductions
• Apply SEO best practices to all digital content to grow audience reach

• Strong expertise across both digital and print publishing environments
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; AP style fluency required
• Proven ability to manage multiple deadlines simultaneously without sacrificing quality
• Experience with content management systems and basic HTML
• Sharp fact-checking, research, and editing instincts - you catch what others miss
• A collaborative, solutions-oriented mindset and strong attention to detail
• Willingness to travel for industry events and site visits
