Position Overview

The Editorial Director will serve as the strategic leader of Talkiatry’s content efforts, with full ownership over the planning and execution of editorial across channels. This role will transform Talkiatry’s content into a best-in-class mental health media platform—trusted by patients, providers, and partners alike. This role will create editorial content that turns Talkiatry into a definitive source for mental health information that’s credible, clear, and compelling, including blogs, newsletters, and educational content.

About Talkiatry

Talkiatry transforms psychiatry with accessible, human, and responsible care. We’re a national mental health practice co-founded by a patient and a triple-board-certified psychiatrist to solve the problems both groups face in accessing and providing the highest quality treatment.

60% of adults in the U.S. with a diagnosable mental illness go untreated every year because care is inaccessible, while 45% of clinicians are out of network with insurers because reimbursement rates are low, and paperwork is unduly burdensome.

With innovative technology and a human-centered philosophy, we provide patients with the care they need—and allow psychiatrists to focus on why they got into medicine.

Responsibilities

• Editorial Strategy and Calendars: Own and manage integrated editorial calendars that align content production with business goals.
• Blog and Newsletter: Lead the evolution of our blog and newsletter into the leading digital destination for trusted mental health content, shaping editorial strategy, voice, and cadence across patient and provider audiences.
• SEO Production: Partner with our SEO agency to refine briefs, ensuring all content has strong strategic foundations and meets editorial and clinical standards. Hire and manage a roster of freelance writers to produce content.
• Content QA & Medical Review: Serve as the final editorial checkpoint for all published content—editing for clarity, tone, grammar, and compliance—and lead the medical review process, including routing and version control.
• Audience Development: Help evolve our content strategies to grow and deepen audience engagement across platforms, with a focus on patient and provider needs. Evolve our voice and tone to meet those audiences.
• Educational Content Development: Lead the creation of patient-facing educational content, including scripting for multimedia formats like video explainers and clinician-led content.

Requirements

• 7+ years of experience in journalism, content operations, or content marketing—ideally with time spent in regulated, human-centered industries (e.g., health care, finance, education).
• Experience leading or scaling multi-channel content programs including SEO, email, blogs, newsletters, and landing pages.
• Comfort with clinical or compliance review processes and the ability to translate complex, sensitive topics into content that feels clear, empathetic, and accurate.
• Highly organized and able to manage content workflows from ideation through review and publication.
• Experience working cross-functionally with marketing, design, SEO, and/or clinical teams, with strong communication, prioritization, and editing skills.
• Background in journalism, publishing, or professional editing, with a strong editorial eye for shaping clear, consistent, high-quality content.
