- A portfolio showing published digital content you planned, wrote, edited, or optimized
- Strong writing, editing, and fact-checking skills, with a clear sense of audience and brand voice
- Experience managing freelancers or working with agency partners
- Working knowledge of SEO fundamentals, curiosity about GEO and AI search, and basic familiarity with HTML, structured data, and tools like Search Console, Semrush, or Ahrefs
- CMS publishing experience, including updating pages, modules, and collections
- Experience or strong interest in using AI tools to improve content workflows, with good judgment about accuracy and human review
- Strong organization and deadline discipline across many concurrent projects, and the flexibility to shift priorities as TV schedules, seasonal moments, and business needs change
- A self-starter's initiative: you spot opportunities and recommend priorities without waiting for direction
- A clear, collaborative communication style with internal partners, freelancers, and agencies
- Interest in or experience with home improvement, DIY, or home design content, and familiarity with affiliate, commerce, or sponsored content workflows

- You will report to the hiring manager and work closely with production, marketing, sales, commerce, design, and technology teams
- Co-own the editorial strategy and a rolling content calendar for ThisOldHouse.com, balancing original content, television coverage, seasonal demand (spring outdoor projects, fall, holiday gifting), and business priorities. Flag conflicts and gaps early
- Recommend what to create, update, expand, promote, or retire, using data rather than instinct alone
- Lead digital coverage for This Old House, Ask This Old House, This First House, and related programming, partnering with production on project features, articles, and videos. Time releases to the broadcast and streaming schedule so web content drives tune-in
- Oversee original content including project-house coverage, Before & Afters, design and expert content, House One projects, research, guides, and special editorial initiatives
- Write, edit, and fact-check as needed, upholding the brand's reputation for accurate, expert-reviewed advice and ensuring content meets voice, style, image, caption, and metadata standards
- Develop content for This Old House Insider, including articles, videos, and project plans
- Co-own editorial planning for ThisFirstHouse.com, keeping it timely and aligned with the main site
- Use the CMS to build and publish pages, manage modules and navigation, and keep homepages, hubs, landing pages, and seasonal collections fresh. Check that live pages display correctly on desktop and mobile
- Help track traffic, engagement, search, video, and commerce analytics using traditional and AI-powered tools, and produce regular performance summaries with clear takeaways and next steps
- Apply SEO, generative engine optimization (GEO), and AI search optimization (AIO) best practices to new content and refresh plans, and keep current as search changes
- Identify opportunities to use AI and automation in article production, optimization, metadata, QA, and content maintenance, with human review to protect accuracy and brand standards. Document workflows so others can follow them
- Manage freelance contributors from assignment through publication with clear briefs, deadlines, and quality standards
- Lead content maintenance and affiliate-content planning with internal stakeholders and Home Solutions, our third-party website and affiliate content agency
- Develop and deliver sponsored content with sales, marketing, production, and external partners
- Partner with the lifecycle marketing lead on newsletter and email strategy and with the social media lead on distribution, so website, Insider, and television content reaches audiences across platforms
Our take
According to Nielsen data, the average streamer spends over seven minutes searching for something to watch. Streaming services use customers' viewing history to make suggestions, but these are limited to programs licensed for that particular service.
Roku provides an integrated streaming service that offers TV channels, movies and third-party streaming services, resulting in an all-in-one streaming platform. The service can be accessed through a variety of customized subscription packages and fees.
Roku stands out in the streaming industry by bringing many competitors together in one package. The startup provides further innovative services such as a weekly TV series named 'Roku Recommends' which uses first-party data to recommend essential viewing to users.
Alongside funding filmmakers through its "Change Makers Program", Roku also acquired its own original library of shows through its acquisition of now-defunct Quibi's library. Then, after successful collaborations with TCL and Hisense, the first in-house "Roku Television" was released. In 2026, it was announced that media giant FOX would acquire Roku, which the companies say will create the third largest player in US TV by share of viewing.
