About the job

About Us:

Blockworks is a fast-growing financial media brand that delivers news and insights about bitcoin and crypto to millions of investors.

Our editorial site, research, newsletters, podcasts and events provide investors with the critical analysis and information they need to make smarter decisions about digital assets.

About The Role

Our Editorial department produces anything from 15 - 30 stories every day, each of which need careful production to ensure that they are accurate, timely, and that they adhere to our philosophy of ‘optimizing for knowledge’.

While our journalists are writing and our editors are fact-checking, our production team goes into overdrive to create the publishing framework for each story in our content management system.

Sometimes breaking stories need to be produced in mere minutes… other times, we have longer lead times to give considerable thought and attention to image selection and the perfect social media pitch.

We’re looking for a multi-talented creative person who also happens to be exceptionally diligent when it comes to following clear processes.

You’ll be working directly with the Editorial Operations manager to present our journalists’ work in the best possible way, free of errors and with creative flair that’s tailored to each of our distribution mechanisms.
