• Learn the ins and outs of the travel, credit cards and points and miles industries, including staying up-to-date on the content TPG publishes and the current events happening across the industries we cover.
• Work with other content operations team members to schedule out the daily publishing calendar, from breaking news to evergreen content. You’ll learn best practices for when to schedule different content, and how to manage the TPG homepage.
• Collaborate with teammates and prioritize daily tasks and projects to ensure high-quality, on-deadline deliverables to all stakeholders.
