Job description

Beaming Health exists to be a trusted resource for families of children with special needs. Through our website and expert support teams, parents can access all the services they need to set their children up for healthy and happy lives.

About Us

We started Beaming Health to create a world in which every parent sleeps well at night knowing they are doing everything they can to set their children up for a healthy and happy life. This is not the reality for many parents who have children with special needs. These parents face significant challenges in the following areas:

  • Finding care: It is the wild west to find care, with most turning to unsophisticated solutions such as blogs and Facebook group and nothing exists that tells families who is good, in-network, and available.
  • Fighting for care: Between insurance denials and schools holding back services, parents are often on the phone for hours every week fighting for the care their child needs.
  • Paying for care: Parents often pay thousands of dollars out-of-pocket or forgo care altogether because of the costs and most don’t realize there are government programs and nonprofit grants that will often cover expenses.

These issues lead parents of children with special needs to be 24% more likely to develop depression than their peers, and 50% have to reduce or quit their jobs to manage everything. We can do so much better, and that’s why we created Beaming Health.

We are starting with a focus on parents of children with autism because we want to start by doing one thing really well, and autism is already a massive, growing, and underserved segment of the special needs population. We hope you will join us to transform the experience of these families.

Our Culture

  • We are a mission-driven company. Don't just come to Beaming to work, come to leave your mark on the world.
  • We enjoy each other’s company and think it's important to make work as fun as possible. That being said, we also take our work very seriously and want to work with the best of the best.
  • We are actively seeking to work with people who are not like us. To build a great team, we want people with many different backgrounds and experiences.

We are looking for a Senior Content Editor to join our team. In this role, you will ultimately be responsible for ensuring the quality of the content and information shared with our audience.

Key responsibilities

  • Research and leverage analytical tools (e.g., SEMrush) to understand what content will drive our strategy for growing organic traffic and guiding families
  • Manage a team of content writers, setting the editorial calendar to plan, assign, and edit multiple pages per week
  • Ensure consistency of our brand voice and style, ultimately breaking down complex topics using Beaming Health’s unique voice and editorial approach
  • Work with the leadership team to engage industry experts and influencers to review of guest write content for the site
  • Partner with the growth team to create the right content for each social platform

About You

You will thrive in the role of Senior Content Editor if you have:

  • A desire to fundamentally transform the experience of families of children with special needs - ideally with a personal connection to the special needs community as a parent, caregiver, and/or individual
  • Excellent research, writing, and editorial skills - you nerd out on your research but make your writing simple and accessible
  • A style that is collaborative and humble - you thrive working cross-functionally
  • Ability to deal well with ambiguity - you will have the freedom to get your work done in whatever way you see most fit, meaning you will create a lot of processes from scratch. This can be energizing for some and overwhelming for others.
  • Flexibility - we are small, scrappy, and constantly evolving. Priorities can change and we need someone who can roll with the punches.

Other Logistics:

This is a part-time virtual role, with the option to transition to a full-time role. Chris and Missy are in San Francisco, working from home and coffee shops. If you are also in San Francisco, we’d love to work with you in person as much as possible, but this is not an expectation.

Beaming Health is an equal opportunity employer and encourages all applicants from every background and life experience to apply.
