The Problems You'll Solve

At Carta, our employees set out on a mission to unlock the power of equity ownership for more people in more places. We believe that the problems we solve today unlock the opportunities of tomorrow. As a Senior Editor at Carta, your work will help us solve various content problems:

  • Strategy: You’ll stay on top of our audience, subject matter, trends, competitive landscape, and company initiatives to contribute creative and strategic content ideas for stories in a variety of formats, including educational blog posts, customer stories, data-driven trend stories, product-related news, and more. You’ll also help us find new ways to tell these stories to different audiences.
  • Creation: You’ll collaborate with stakeholders across the team to strategize assignments, work with staff writers and freelancers to create them, and write articles and marketing materials yourself. You’ll partner with the greater team on art and other ways to tell our stories visually.
  • Editing: You’ll develop story ideas, guide writers in story approach, and  line edit for meaning, style, flow, voice, and our prime directive of helpfulness, incorporating SEO best practices seamlessly rather than being led by them. You’ll copy-edit work edited by other team members. 
  • Performance: You’ll monitor and report on your works’ performance to goals, exploring ways to change strategy when needed based on your results.
  • Efficiency: You’ll manage and communicate your time in order to work on many pieces at once to deadline, and you’ll contribute to workflows and guidelines that help us scale our output.

Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way.
