Job Summary:
GoodRx Health is seeking an assigning editor to develop compelling content that helps to inform and drive healthcare decision-making for consumers. The ideal candidate has experience writing and editing stories about health and well-being for a general audience.
The GoodRx Health editorial team consists of a cross-functional group of physicians, pharmacists, journalists, copy editors, and SEO experts who work together to produce high-quality, service-driven content that is inclusive, approachable, and easy to understand.
The Health Editor will be responsible for assigning and editing nonclinical stories, such as those related to healthcare access, lifestyle, and well-being (diet, exercise, sleep, healthy aging, etc.) Strong structural editing, line editing, and copy editing skills are a must, as is a willingness to pitch in with writing and updating to keep the editorial pipeline moving smoothly.

Responsibilities:
- Assign/edit about 20-30 new articles or article updates per month, contributing content that’s useful and relevant to readers as well as optimized to drive traffic to GoodRx Health.
- Edit articles to ensure structural integrity, accuracy, and readability while meeting reader intent. Use plain language and health literacy best practices and translate complex scientific or clinical language into a 6th to 8th grade reading level.
- Recruit and manage a team of freelance writers.
- Pitch new articles that align with editorial strategy and content priorities. Manage daily priorities to fulfill content requests from multiple stakeholders and meet team goals.
- Develop and experiment with innovative and engaging formats, such as infographics, maps, and quizzes.
- Collaborate with medical reviewers, copy editors, and production editors to keep the editorial publishing pipeline moving smoothly.
- Track and review content performance, using key metrics to guide day-to-day planning and execution.
