Maintain editorial voice, narrative quality, and fan-first storytelling across all content formats.

3. SEO, Performance & Content Optimization

Drive an SEO-led content strategy identifying high-traffic keywords, analyzing competitors , selecting Google Discover-friendly topics, preparing SEO outlines, and refreshing older articles to improve rankings.

Ensure all content is optimized for visibility (titles, headers, schema, meta descriptions) and built to rank across Search and Discover.

Analyze daily performance data on analytics tools to guide topic selection, identify growth opportunities, and improve writer output.

4. Outreach, Partnerships & Ecosystem Building

Build and execute outreach strategies with celebrities, influencers, industry experts, and creators to boost content reach and brand credibility.

Develop partnerships with streaming platforms, entertainment studios, PR agencies, and digital creators to expand NJ’s editorial reach, access, and authority.

5. Brand Identity, Audience Growth & Distribution

Define how Netflix Junkie should look, sound, and feel across its website and social platforms, collaborating closely with design, SEO, and marketing teams.

Leverage audience insights and performance metrics to refine editorial priorities, plan content tentpoles, and grow organic traffic, follower base, and engagement.

Drive multi-platform distribution strategies to ensure content reaches relevant fandoms and delivers sustained audience retention.

Requirements

5–8 years of experience in digital media, entertainment journalism, or pop culture content management.

Proven leadership experience in managing editorial teams or entertainment divisions.

Strong understanding of sports-entertainment crossover trends and audience behavior.

Experience in brand strategy, influencer marketing, or partnership building.
