About MidCurrent
MidCurrent is one of the most trusted names in fly fishing media, serving approximately 80,000 newsletter subscribers with expert-driven editorial content. In early 2026 we launched MidCurrent Plus (M+), a paid membership product offering personalized monthly guides, expert Q&A, partner discounts, live events, and gear giveaways. The product has achieved strong early traction.
We are looking for a versatile, detail-driven team member who believes in deadlines and can operate across editorial, marketing, and technical workflows in a lean, digital-first environment. This role reports to the Publisher and touches nearly every part of the content and membership business on a daily and weekly basis.
About the Role
This is a hands-on production role. You will help execute — not just plan — the weekly and monthly operations that keep MidCurrent Plus and the MidCurrent website running and growing. That includes assembling and sending member newsletters, producing monthly fishing guides, managing email automations, coordinating with brand partners, and analyzing performance data to inform decisions.
You will work closely with the Publisher, contributing editors, and an external web developer. The ideal candidate is someone who is equally comfortable writing a compelling headline, pulling a Memberful .csv export, and adjusting a Klaviyo Flow.
Key Responsibilities
Production Management
- Assemble and publish at least eight member newsletters (four paid, four free) and 10 regular newsletters monthly — formatting articles, inserting links, QA across email clients
- Produce monthly fishing guides: coordinate research, draft and edit content, select and acquire photography, and manage the HTML-to-PDF rendering pipeline
- Maintain and update WordPress content including articles, landing pages, and custom post types
- Manage the weekly production calendar and flag bottlenecks before they become problems
Email Marketing & Automation
- Build, maintain, and optimize Klaviyo email flows: onboarding sequences, upgrade nurture, event promotion, and re-engagement campaigns
- Manage list segmentation using Memberful profile data (species interests, region, membership tier)
- Run A/B tests on subject lines, send times, content formats, and CTAs; report results with recommendations
- Monitor deliverability, open rates, click rates, and conversion metrics; identify trends and anomalies
Editorial Support
- Assemble, edit, proofread, and copyedit articles, newsletter content, and marketing copy to MidCurrent's editorial standards
- Write headlines, subject lines, and CTAs that balance editorial quality with conversion performance
- Select, acquire, crop, and prepare images for newsletters, guides, WordPress posts, and member communications
- Maintain voice and tone consistency across formats — email, web, PDF, social
Event Support
- Coordinate logistics for monthly live Zoom events: speaker scheduling, tech setup, Q&A moderation, recording
- Produce post-event deliverables: distribute recordings to members, clip highlights for social media
- Build and send event-related email sequences (announcement, reminders, follow-up)
Required Qualifications
Technical Skills
- Proficiency with spreadsheets (Excel and/or Google Sheets) for tracking and reporting
- Comfortable learning new software quickly — you don't need every tool we use today, but you need to pick them up fast
- Working knowledge of WordPress is a strong asset (Gutenberg editor, article assembly, familiarity with the CMS environment)
- Basic HTML and inline CSS familiarity helpful — enough to troubleshoot email templates and landing pages and debug issues
- Experience with email marketing platforms (Klaviyo preferred) including flow building, segmentation, conditional logic, and performance analysis
- Experience with Google Drive as a collaborative workspace for documents, spreadsheets, and project coordination
AI Fluency
- Demonstrated skill in prompting AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, or similar): crafting effective prompts, managing context across complex tasks, and critically evaluating AI-generated output
- Familiarity with using AI to accelerate real workflows — content assembly, data analysis, research, creative iteration — a strong plus
- Commitment to maintaining AI fluency: staying current on new tools, platform changes, and emerging techniques; genuine curiosity and energy about self-improvement in this area
Editorial Skills
- Excellent writing and editing ability: clean prose, accurate grammar, strong headlines, and an ear for voice and tone
- Strong skills in proofreading, copyediting, and maintaining editorial consistency across multiple content formats
- Photo selection, file management, and image editing skills (cropping, resizing, color correction) for editorial and marketing use; demonstrated ability to select photos that effectively support content journalism and convey the brand message
Domain Knowledge
- Some familiarity with fly fishing — species, methods, gear categories, seasonal patterns, and the culture of the sport
- You do not need to be an expert angler, but you should be able to tell the difference between a streamer and a dry fly, and understand why that matters to our audience
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with subscription or membership businesses (Memberful, Substack, Patreon, or similar platforms)
- Familiarity with Zapier or similar automation platforms for connecting SaaS tools
- Comfort with light video editing (CapCut, Premiere Rush, or similar) for social clips and event highlights
- Experience with PDF production workflows or document automation tools
- Background in outdoor media, enthusiast publishing, or niche content businesses
What We Offer
- A remote-first position with flexible scheduling
- The chance to shape a membership product with proven product-market fit at an early, high-impact stage
- A small, focused team where your work is visible and your contributions directly affect growth
- Access to industry-leading AI tools as part of your daily workflow
- Meaningful room to grow into senior editorial responsibility over time
- An environment that values clarity, data-informed decisions, and craft over corporate process
- Opportunity to work with an innovative leader in fly fishing media and membership services and to advance your journalism, AI, and technology skillset
