job_description.job_card.job_descriptionProofread and fact-check news and analysis with precision, catching errors and gaps before they reach thousands of readers. Manage the CDG Insights inbox and contributor communications, ensuring timely responses and smooth coordination. Scout, vet, and onboard new freelance contributors, maintaining a high editorial bar while growing our bench of voices. Spot workflow bottlenecks, propose fixes, and strengthen editorial operations for speed and reliability. Write, edit, and publish newsletters, real-time news stories, and social posts that shape the daily conversation in auto retail. Pitch stories and trends with authority; assign work to freelancers and chase down leads that matter. Monitor breaking news and industry developments to keep CDG consistently ahead of the curve. Collaborate with editorial leadership to maintain speed, tone, and consistency across all CDG platforms. Drive new editorial initiatives and test experimental ideas that expand CDG’s voice and footprint. Take ownership of special projects and evolve content workflows to support scale. Track and analyze performance data, using insights to sharpen editorial strategy and audience engagement. Think beyond today’s cycle—contribute ideas and execution that shape where CDG goes next. Detail hawks — you can spot a typo, a missing stat, or a shaky claim instantly, and you take pride in tightening copy. Planners and organizers — you like running point on workflows, keeping contributors on track, and making sure the trains run on time. News junkies and chronically online people — you stay plugged into the industry, thrive in fast-moving cycles, and can quickly turn complex updates into sharp takes. Builders — you want to be part of scaling a fast-growing media company, testing new ideas, and shaping what editorial looks like tomorrow. Communicators — clear, concise writing is your default; you know how to strip away fluff and get to signal. Generalists who don’t know auto retail — if you don’t understand dealer economics, franchise dynamics, or market fundamentals, this won’t be a fit. People who need a slow pace — this role lives in breaking news, tight deadlines, and constant iteration. Pure writers — if you only want to write and avoid operations, editing, or contributor management, this isn’t the right seat. Headline skimmers — you’ll need to analyze, fact-check, and connect dots, not just repackage surface-level news. Passengers — this is for someone who wants ownership and accountability, not just a checklist of tasks. 2+ years of editorial experience in the automotive retail industry. Strong knowledge of dealer economics, franchise operations, and market fundamentals. Commitment to journalistic ethics and accuracy. Concise, direct communicator with sharp editing instincts. Critical thinker who spots signals, not just noise. Competitive compensation package ($65K–$75K) with performance upside. Phantom equity program offering long-term alignment and wealth-building potential. Health benefits reimbursement program (medical, dental, vision). Flexible, remote-first work environment with opportunities for travel and live events. Direct exposure to influential and senior leaders across automotive retail. Chance to shape the fastest-growing media platform in auto retail. Entrepreneurial culture with clear paths to grow and take ownership.
