What makes you a potential Legend?

• We seek resourceful and kind self-starters who enjoy autonomy, a dynamic environment, and high accountability. You'll thrive here if you're always eager to learn, value constructive feedback, and are excited by big goals.
  
• In terms of technical skills for the Managing Editor role, you ideally bring:
• A track record of writing and editing high-quality content, boosting user engagement and organic traffic.
• The ability to do the above whilst keeping SEO best practices.
• A strong managerial toolkit, understanding how to best lead your team members to unlock the most of their potential.

Why might we not be right for you, though?

• We are not a place where you join, and it's an easy ride. We have clear KPIs and goals as we strive towards our multi-year strategic vision. This might be stressful at times, but will also lead you to supercharge how fast you unlock your own potential.
• We work in a fast-paced industry, and we believe learning quickly is more effective than analyzing forever before acting. That does lead to an environment where you will experience change more frequently than in a typical company.
• We don't have a micro-management environment where someone is always breathing down your neck. In other words: You need to be self-driven and proactive to make the most of your environment and achieve the growth you set out to achieve.

You could settle for ordinary - or you could join us

• For this role as Managing Editor, you will have multiple chances to progress further with us over time.
  
• We can't make any iron-clad promises as to timelines, as more senior roles are unlocked by us reaching our organizational targets. But an example could include growing into a Head of Content role while supercharging your content and leadership skillset further.
• Once you've passed your probation, we will make an IDP together, helping you reach your long-term career ambitions.
