Job Title: Editor, Newsletters

About the Company

The Britannica Group owns two of the world’s most valuable and trusted sources of knowledge: Encyclopaedia Britannica and Merriam-Webster. Britannica has been operating since 1768, and Merriam-Webster since 1831, and these digital-first brands now serve a global audience of more than 200 million users a month and over 14 million newsletter subscriptions – with reference and lifestyle content, games and interactive features.

About the Role

Britannica is looking for an Editor to help launch and run a new daily newsletter debuting later this year. This role owns the full editorial operation of the brand — from calendar planning through publication.

The ideal candidate brings strong editorial judgment, sharp writing and editing skills, and experience managing freelance contributors to maintain a consistent, high-quality publishing cadence.
