Market Curation Editor (Culture)

Accountabilities:

• Review daily queues of system-generated culture markets against fixed completion deadlines.


• Evaluate each candidate for factual accuracy, clarity, relevance, and whether its resolution criteria can be reliably adjudicated using an authoritative source.


• Verify opening and closing times against the underlying cultural event, such as an announcement, broadcast, release, ceremony, or other scheduled moment.


• Determine whether a market is genuinely culturally relevant and timely rather than technically accurate but no longer meaningful to audiences.


• Assess markets against community standards and content guidelines, escalating sensitive or ambiguous cases involving private life, health, minors, grief, or unverified allegations.


• Approve, edit, or reject candidate markets while recording a specific and structured reason for every decision.


• Rewrite questions and resolution criteria for precision, clarity, and authentic fan-oriented language, including relevant fandom terminology.


• Create timestamped clarifications when ambiguity arises during a live market and handle settlement situations where no authoritative data feed is available.


• Conduct proactive gap scans across social platforms, fan communities, entertainment media, and other sources to identify culturally significant moments missed by the automated pipeline.


• Monitor breaking developments, emerging trends, major releases, awards activity, and other high-interest cultural events.


• Participate in regular calibration reviews to maintain consistency with published guidelines and align decisions with other curators and team leads.


• Contribute to overall product quality through consistent queue completion, accurate decisions, high-quality reasoning, precise rewrites, and proactive market discovery.

• Exceptional written communication and editorial precision, with the ability to create clear rules and resolution language that remain unambiguous once an outcome is known.
