App Store Editor: Productivity and Growth

Summary
The App Store is the world's safest and most vibrant app marketplace, serving more than 650 million people each week. Since the App Store launched in 2008, it has helped creators, dreamers, and learners of all ages and backgrounds connect with the tools and information they need to build a brighter future and a better world. It has enabled countless new companies, spawned new industries and created millions of jobs. A significant driver of the global economy, the App Store facilitates over a $1 trillion in developer billings and sales annually, rewarding developers and entrepreneurs for their hard work and creativity. And we believe we're just getting started!

We're looking for a highly organized and detail-driven apps expert in the Business, Productivity, and Finance space with top-notch writing, communication, and collaboration skills. This role will focus on making app recommendations, creating content across platforms, collaborating with developers, and growing the App Store business. Bring both your professional experience and personal passions to the App Store Editorial team.



Description
The App Store Editor will work within a team of app experts to research, test, curate, and create content for new app releases and major updates. As a team, we engage in healthy debate over what to feature and where. Our recommendations drive programs such as App of the Day, Editors' Choice, and along with our Games and International colleagues, the App Store Awards.

This Editor will work cross-functionally with App Store Business, Marketing, and Production teams as well as external developer partners to track roadmaps, organize upcoming priorities, and identify trends and content opportunities. We aim to ensure users know the most exciting things happening with apps at all times.

With a focus on expanding Editorial reach and growing the App Store's impact for the developer community, a successful candidate will have experience in data analysis and other growth-related skills. We're looking for a combination of critical thinking and problem solving skills, A/B testing, SEO, subscription retention and acquisition, Excel (especially working with large data sets), and previous experience with content analytics tools.

App Store Editors are storytellers. Being able to marry the more subjective aspects of editorial with objective data insights is essential. This role requires presenting well-designed and polished decks to peers and up to executive-level leaders.

Crucial to this role is the ability to think globally. The App Store Editor will work with teams around the world on high-pressure projects with extremely tight deadlines. Proven ability to build and maintain relationships without ever meeting in person is key.
