• Support the launch of new content formats and improve editorial production workflows.
• Evaluate AI-generated output for factual accuracy, logical consistency, clarity and practical production gains.

5. Optimise through data and user insights

• Analyse content reach, quality engagement, interactions and subsequent user behaviour.
• Identify gaps in content supply and distribution, recommend actionable improvements, and validate their impact through data.
• Use performance insights to improve editorial planning, content formats and distribution strategies.

6. Collaborate with product and operations teams

• Translate editorial and operational needs into product requirements.
• Work cross-functionally to enhance content hubs, operational tools and product features.
