WeVote is building a movement of excellent, passionate, part-time volunteers (starting with the founders) who build mobile technologies that will touch and mobilize millions of voters on Election Day.

Role Overview
We are seeking an experienced leader with a strong background in journalism or digital media to serve as our Head of Editorial Content. In this key volunteer leadership role, you will define and guide the journalistic voice, editorial standards, and publishing strategy across WeVote's blog and public newsletter channels.
You will lead a team of passionate volunteer writers, researchers, and newsletter co-leads—helping us translate complex civic information, election updates, and voter education into engaging, clear, and nonpartisan editorial pieces that inform and empower millions of voters.
What You'll Do
• Lead Editorial Strategy: Develop and execute the overarching editorial calendar for the WeVote blog and publication pipeline, ensuring timely coverage of crucial voting issues and civic participation trends.
• Manage & Mentor Team: Direct, coach, and support a volunteer team of writers, newsletter leads, and content creators to produce clean, compelling, and accurate copy.
• Apply Journalistic Rigor: Maintain strict nonpartisan journalistic standards, fact-checking procedures, and editorial integrity across all long-form posts and newsletter editions.
• Help Drive Newsletter Strategy: Oversee the publication of our regular community and voter newsletters, ensuring strong open rates, clear narrative structures, and audience engagement.
• Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work closely with the Political Data, Communications, and Product Marketing teams to surface key data, product feature updates, and civic campaigns in editorial formats.
• Shape Voice & Style: Refine and maintain WeVote’s editorial style guide, tone of voice, and guidelines to ensure consistent quality across all written outputs.
What We're Looking For
• Journalism / Editorial Background: 3+ years of experience in journalism, newsroom editing, publication management, or senior digital content roles.
• Editorial Leadership: Proven ability to manage a team of writers or content contributors, manage editorial schedules, and maintain high standards under publication deadlines.
• Strong Copyediting & Fact-Checking: Meticulous attention to detail regarding grammar, tone, factual accuracy, and nonpartisan objectivity.
• Newsletter & Digital Publishing Skills: Experience managing email newsletters and blog content management systems (CMS).
• Mission-Driven Alignment: Deep interest in voting rights, civic tech, voter education, and nonpartisan political participation.
• Self-Starter Mentality: Ability to work independently and effectively in a fully remote, asynchronous team environment.
Time Commitment & Volunteer Notice
• Hours: Approximately 5–10 hours per week (flexible scheduling).
• Location: 100% Remote (US-based applicants only).
• Note: Like all roles at WeVote (including the leadership team), this is a volunteer position.
