Content creator is needed for award-winning equine hoof-care publisher Lessiter Media (Brookfield, Wis.). You’ll play a key role in planning, creating and securing subscribers’ “must-have” content in all forms - print, video, webinars, podcasts and in-person national conference we host.

Candidates should bring a proven service journalism background (which matches our formula of “need-to-know” information that can be immediately put into action), possess an aptitude to understand and analyze all available information on equine hoof care, with the ability to take key points and expand on the concepts to deliver a story on how an idea will benefit our readership. Qualified candidates will have 1-3 years of experience in professional publishing.

In addition to stellar interviewing, writing and editing, you’ll need to be organized, deadline-oriented, and clearly communicate to help our in-house graphics, video and audio experts bring your actionable content to life.

Position requires moderate travel (to clinics, conferences and farrier visits).
