Content Acquisitions Editor

Location: Remote (U.S.-based preferred)

Commitment: 30–40 hours/week (Contractor)

Travel: Approx. 1 conference per quarter

Reports to: CEO

We’re looking for a Content Acquisitions Editor to lead the next phase of JOMI’s growth. This is a leadership role for a clinically trained physician who can think strategically about surgical education, build meaningful relationships with surgeons, and execute a smart, efficient outreach strategy to acquire high-value cases for publication.

You’ll work closely with the CEO and the Head of Editorial, oversee a small but growing team, and have broad autonomy to shape outreach priorities, workflows, and team structure as we expand into new specialties.

What You’ll Do

Strategic Content Acquisition

• Identify high-priority and high-impact surgical cases across a range of specialties.
• Conduct cold outreach to surgeons, program directors, and department chairs to introduce JOMI and initiate collaborations.
• Develop and refine outreach strategy based on educational value, procedural demand, and emerging surgical trends.
• Help shape JOMI’s content roadmap as the company expands beyond general surgery and orthopedics.
  
  

Leadership & Team Management

• Manage and mentor a small distributed team, including:
  • One part-time Content Acquisition Editor (General Surgery focus)
  • Undergraduate, medical student, and research fellow support staff.
• Oversee outreach workflows, lead tracking, and follow-up systems.
• Foster a collaborative, growth-oriented team culture.
  
  

Collaboration & Operations

• Work closely with JOMI’s production and editorial teams to coordinate case onboarding and publication.
• Track metrics using JOMI’s CRM and Google-based systems; maintain regular progress reports.
• Represent JOMI at surgical or medical education conferences (approx. one per quarter).
• Contribute to long-term content and partnership strategy discussions with the executive team.
  
  

Who You Are

• MD or DO with at least 1 year of clinical experience (residency or equivalent).
• Deep understanding of surgical workflow, academic culture, and clinical communication.
• Exceptional communication and follow-up skills — you know how to write compelling, professional outreach messages that get responses.
• Highly organized, self-directed, and comfortable working autonomously in a remote environment.
• Proficient with Google Workspace, Slack, and CRMs (familiarity with Airtable, HubSpot, or similar tools a plus).
• Excited by the pace and creativity of a startup environment and motivated by impact-driven work.
  
  

Why JOMI

• Lead the expansion of a globally recognized, mission-driven medical education platform.
• Collaborate with world-class surgeons and institutions.
• High autonomy, flexible remote work, and creative input into company direction.
• Be part of a small, entrepreneurial team that values initiative, experimentation, and innovation.
