About this role
This is not a social media or forum moderation role. It is an editor s job with an operator s discipline.
What you will do
- Keep the page fed. Own the supply of new polls and surveys: at least two a week, with 60 80% of the next 30 days already on a list anyone in the company can see. Start with what you control (the backlog of past surveys, the newsletters, the podcasts) and build outward.
- Decide what is good enough. Which surveys get a full page, which a short intro, which we don t carry. Rank what matters to subscribers by your own judgment, not vote counts or a model s summary. Tell a writer when a poll is weak and won t run.
- Write and edit the pages. Each survey page opens with a headline, a strap, and a 100- to 200-word introduction, then moves through the questions people answered. You write or edit that copy, choose the quotes that lead, brief the design team on the infographics, and keep it short and factual.
- Make it easy for others to contribute. Build and maintain the brief a writer or host fills to hand you a survey: a handful of fields, a worked example, nearly zero effort. Push for copy to fit fields the CMS already has. Design the system so it runs when you re on leave.
- Get the newsroom to want in. You have no authority over writers, so this is persuasion. Run the weekly all-hands slot that shows whose poll got hundreds of answers and got shared. Nudge for the first two months until contributing is a habit.
- Run the loop. Read the dashboard every morning. Know which surface (email unit, homepage, in-story unit, newsletter) and which hook (title, first question, sample answer, writer s note) bring people in, and move exposure to what works. Own the follow-ups: the notification when a page gets its editorial update, the share prompt after someone answers, and how people who sign up through community are welcomed.
- Look after the people in it. Moderate the queue of new answers. Ask members for permission to publish their names. Handle the subscriber who writes in wanting to connect with others. Protect the premium feel: some polls stay subscriber-only, and saying no is part of the job.
2 to 4 years in a newsroom, a content team, a research or insights team, or a product role where you shipped things people used. We care more about what you have made than where you worked.
You will do well here if:
- You have taste and can defend it. Shown 10 surveys, you can rank them by what a reader would care about and say why, in plain words, in two minutes.
- You write clean, short, factual copy and know when a sentence should be cut.
- You read numbers without flinching. A dashboard showing your idea didn t work is information, not an insult. You ve used an analytics tool to decide something.
- You can get people to do things you cannot make them do, and you have examples.
- You build systems, not heroics. When something depends on you remembering, you turn it into a template, a list, or a rule.
- You are sceptical by default. When someone says our readers won t do that , your first move is to check.
- You say no with care. You can tell a senior colleague their poll isn t good enough and keep the relationship.
- You use AI tools for the grunt work and still form your own view. If you can t explain a recommendation without the tool, you don t make it.
- Useful but not required: you ve run a survey or panel and lived with the responses; moderated a community of any kind; worked with designers and engineers on something that shipped; taken one of our surveys.
A product of your own, at a publication that has spent 10 years earning the trust that makes people answer honestly. A product manager and designers already on it. An audience most researchers would pay for: a few hundred to a few thousand affluent, curious, early-adopting subscribers who answer in full sentences. A first version that is surveys and polls on a page, and a say in what comes after it. We will tell you plainly that some of it may not work, and that finding out is the job.
