• Build and maintain AI tools the Copy Desk team can use in the editing process, as well as self-serve tools that marketers can use upstream from bringing content to Copy Desk for review.
• Iterate on our existing operational processes for intake, queue and service level management, and quality assurance.
• Find ways to move faster and do more as we scale and the review volume increases.
