About DataCamp
DataCamp’s mission is to empower everyone with the data and AI skills essential for 21st-century success. By providing practical, engaging learning experiences, DataCamp equips learners and organizations of all sizes to harness the power of data and AI. As a trusted partner to over 17 million learners and 6,000+ companies, including 80% of the Fortune 1000, DataCamp is leading the charge in addressing the critical data and AI skills shortage.
About the role:
DataCamp is looking for a Data Science Editor! As part of the editorial team, you are a seasoned editor or creator within the data and AI space with proven experience in creating, editing, and delivering written or video-based technical data and AI tutorials. You’ll be responsible for working with a network of freelance creators to scale DataCamp’s blog and YouTube channels.
You will collaborate closely with a team of editors, marketers, data evangelists, product marketing managers, SEO experts, and the broader commercial marketing team to drive organic traffic via our blog and tutorial pages. Through these efforts, you will help amplify and share free and valuable educational content for DataCamp’s audience of learners and data practitioners.
We’re excited about you because you have the following:
- You have a strong understanding of data science, AI, cloud, or/and data engineering and can write on technical subjects in the data space yourself. You can provide multiple relevant examples of your writing and/or editing work.
- Detailed knowledge of at least one programming language (Python, R, SQL, etc.) or Business Intelligence tool (Tableau, Power BI, etc.)
- You score yourself in the top 5% regarding attention to detail. Typos and incorrect grammar are your worst enemies.
- You can effectively use AI tools for content creation and workflow automation — without sacrificing truthfulness and quality.
If that sounds like you, we’d love to meet you.
We’re even more excited about you if you have the following:
- Strong data engineering and/or cloud expertise.
- Previous experience as a data scientist, developer, or technical expert.
- Demonstrable experience delivering meaningful organic growth via editorial content.
- Knowledge of SEO best practices and how they are evolving.
Responsibilities:
This is an individual contributor role—you will be expected to recruit, lead, and grow our stable of expert freelancers, manage contracts and payments, assign them technical content, edit their work, and more. Here is what your day-to-day will look like:
- Deliver high-quality written and video-based tutorials on data science, AI, analytics, business intelligence, data engineering, cloud, and more.
- Write content briefs that guide freelancers to create content that provides value for DataCamp’s community of learners.
- Recruit and manage freelance creators & experts from the data science, AI, analytics, business intelligence, data engineering, and cloud communities.
- Edit the work of freelancers and ensure that content is ready to be published in a timely manner.
- Combine SEO keyword analysis with a deep understanding of the data and AI space to iterate and improve the content we create.
- Your targets for 2025 are maintaining a robust editorial calendar, delivering 25 new articles and 4 new videos per month, while ensuring freelancers adhere to quality standards and deadlines.
