Editorial Intern, Charter (Remote)

About Charter: We are a media and insights company designed to transform every workplace. The world of business is at an inflection point, and Charter—the sister news organization to The San Francisco Standard—serves as a guide and vital partner to the people who want to take best advantage of this opportunity to catalyze change. Since its founding five years ago, Charter has established itself as the trusted reference for understanding how to navigate critical areas including AI and work, flexible working, and inclusion for the more than 100,000 executives and company decision makers who subscribe to our newsletter and participate in our events. As a company that values diversity and inclusion, we encourage individuals of all backgrounds and experiences to apply for this position.

About the role: In support of our mission, we are seeking an intern to join our editorial team this fall. As an intern, you will write and report articles for our newsletters and website, assist with newsletter production, research ideas for stories and speakers for our events and gatherings, and help with operational efficiencies. You will be working alongside team members who previously held senior roles at The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Quartz, WIRED, Forbes, BusinessWeek, The Washington Post, and The Atlantic.

Responsibilities:

• Write short articles and aggregation items for Charter's free and paid newsletter audiences, as well as our in-depth playbook articles.
• Support weekly newsletter production.
• Research ideas for articles and other editorial projects.
• Help identify speaker and attendee names for events, webinars, and gatherings.
• Pitch in on other editorial projects as needed to help our editorial operations run more smoothly.

Requirements:

• Fast, clean, accurate writer.
• Sharp editorial instincts—you know how to monitor social and other media outlets, confirm facts, and spot angles that are a fit for Charter's audience.
• Strong verbal communicator and collaborator.
• Coachable—you approach your work with a learning mindset, take feedback well, and act on it.
• Organized and resourceful, with the initiative to take on new projects without a lot of hand-holding.
• Low ego, high ambition.

This position is remotely based, with a preference for applicants who are based on the West Coast, especially San Francisco. The internship pays $25 per hour, and we will consider part-time or full-time for the right candidate. To apply for this position, please submit your resume along with three to five published work samples, a cover letter, and contact information for at least two references.

Charter values diversity of experience, a growth mindset, and a commitment to our mission more than a checklist. We encourage you to apply even if you don't meet every single requirement.
