This is powered by LH2 Media OS—an AI-powered platform that helps digital content brands scale by optimizing the entire content value chain—from identifying viral topics and trends in real time to generating story angles, research, and editorial support. We currently work with ~25 brands across different niches with ~50M monthly pageviews under management wherein each brand has been scaled 3-10x.

Candidates should have prior experience editing content written for U.S. audiences and should be comfortable working in a fast-paced digital newsroom workplace with high editorial standards.

This role is best suited for editors who have worked extensively in digital media rather than traditional print media operations.

This role operates on a night shift schedule (10:00 PM – 7:00 AM IST).

Key Responsibilities:

- Edit and review 15–17 articles per day covering U.S. crime, criminal justice, political,

- Maintain consistency in editorial quality, tone, and publishing standards across all content
- Collaborate closely with writers, editors, and content teams to optimize editorial workflows and turnaround time
- Manage deadlines efficiently in a high-volume digital publishing environment

Required Qualifications :

- Bachelor’s or master's degree in journalism, English, communications, or a related field
- 3–4+ years of pure editorial experience in digital media organizations or Tier-1 publication houses
- Prior experience working specifically as an editor rather than primarily as a content writer or journalist
- Experience working with crime news, political news, or U.S.-focused breaking news digital content
- Strong understanding of content written for U.S. audiences, including tone, editorial standards, and news formatting conventions
- Experience working in digital-first media environments; candidates with primarily print-media backgrounds will not be preferred
- Exceptional command of English grammar, syntax, editorial structure, and American news writing conventions
- Strong fact-checking, source verification, and editorial review capabilities
- Ability to manage multiple articles simultaneously while maintaining accuracy and quality
- Strong communication skills and ability to provide precise, constructive editorial feedback
- Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with distributed editorial teams
