JOB SUMMARY (Two/Three Lines):
The Content Operations Lead is LVPM's daily editorial engine -- the person who keeps the team organized, the calendar moving, and the work publishing on time and to standard. This role owns the day-to-day editorial workflow, manages a team of multimedia journalists directly, green-lights story pitches, and takes final responsibility for newsletter production. The Lead works in close coordination with the VP of Content, who sets editorial strategy and direction, and with the Community Engagement Lead and Visuals and Production Lead to keep content moving across all platforms. This is an execution-first role for someone who thrives on operational clarity, holds high standards without friction, and gets energy from making a team run well.
