The ✍️ Make Writing Your Job writing job board is growing!

We’re looking for a detail-obsessed, strategy-minded Senior Newsletter Curator to lead the charge on one of the most trusted writing job boards on Substack. If you love staying organized, catching errors before anyone else sees them, and finding ways to make great systems even better, this is your role.

You’ll be the heartbeat of our newsletter operations — overseeing the daily Writing Job Board, the weekly Grants/Residencies/Contests roundup, and Featured Job posts for high-value client opportunities. You’ll also run our Monday team meetings and keep the Associate and Junior Curators aligned and on point. This is a flexible, async role with the autonomy to structure your workweek, as long as posts go out on time and with 100% accuracy.

Doing this job well means being proactive and precise. Our community depends on us for curated, high-quality opportunities they can’t find anywhere else — and you’ll make sure we deliver every time. Beyond consistency and attention to detail, we’re looking for someone who can think big-picture: improving systems, spotting trends, and keeping our job board ahead of the curve.

Responsibilities Include:

• Scheduling and finalizing daily and weekly newsletters on Substack.

• Daily deadlines for post scheduling include Sunday-Thursday evening before 7pm PT, and Wednesdays before 3pm PT for the Grants, Residencies, and Contests email.

• Managing the Featured Job posting process (including early-access emails and Typeform applications and the list of writers sent to clients).

• Overseeing quality control for all job listings and formatting.

• Light supervision of Associate and Junior Curators.

• Leading Monday team meetings and proposing ideas for engagement and growth.

If you thrive in a role where precision meets creativity — and you care about making life-changing writing opportunities accessible to thousands of writers — we want to hear from you.
