About the role
We're looking for a sharp, curious journalist to lead our Curious Creator newsletter through original interviews with active creators and influencers. Instead of writing analysis from the desk, you'll go straight to the source, talking to the people actually building creator-led brands and turn those conversations into a weekly issue readers can learn from and apply.
You'll deliver one weekly issue built around a short interview: sourcing the creator, running the conversation, and shaping it into a tight, insight-driven piece. This is ideal for someone who's a natural at getting people to open up, asks sharp follow-up questions, and can turn a raw conversation into a compelling narrative.
What you’ll be doing
Source and conduct short interviews with active creators and influencers (paid per piece)
Identify and reach out to creators building interesting content-first brands
Conduct short interviews (15-30 min, async or live) focused on a specific tactic, turning point, or lesson
Write up the interview as a 600-800 word narrative or Q&A, highlighting the most useful, tactical insights
Pull out 1–2 concrete takeaways readers can apply to their own brand or content
Curate 3–5 supporting links or tools relevant to the interview's theme
Maintain a running pipeline of potential interview subjects for future issues
We’re looking for someone who
Has journalism, editorial, or interviewing experience (podcast, newsletter, blog, or media background)
Is comfortable reaching out cold to creators and securing interviews
Asks good questions and can steer a conversation toward something useful and specific
Can turn a messy conversation into a clear, well-structured piece of writing
Is reliable, fast, and open to feedback
Is genuinely interested in the creator economy and how creators build businesses
Bonus points if you
Have an existing network of creators or industry contacts
Have hosted a podcast, run an interview series, or done on-camera/audio interviews before
Understand the creator route to market: product funnels, audience growth, monetisation tactics
Are a creator yourself, or deeply embedded in creator communities
