Wealthsimple is hiring a freelance Production Coordinator for TLDR, Canada’s #1 financial newsletter. This contract role (~20 hours/week) owns the operational backbone of our flagship publication, ensuring it ships every week on time by managing production timelines, coordinating contributors, and maintaining workflows.
What You'll Do
- Own the weekly production schedule for TLDR, ensuring every issue ships on time.
- Manage deadlines across the editorial team and flag risks before they become problems.
- Maintain and improve production workflows as opportunities arise.
- Coordinate with illustrators and freelance contributors, managing briefs, timelines, and deliverables.
- Negotiate rates, track spend, and manage against budget.
- Implement and maintain process systems to reduce manual overhead for the editorial team.
- Manage administrative tasks that fall outside automation.
- Serve as the operational link for the editorial team, keeping stakeholders informed without adding overhead.
What We're Looking For
- 2+ years in a production coordinator, operations, or project management role.
- A track record of owning timelines and getting things across the finish line.
- Sharp organizational skills and attention to detail.
- Genuine appreciation for editorial work.
- Low-drama, high-follow-through; doesn't get rattled when priorities shift.
- Comfort navigating our tech stack: Slack, Google Docs, Asana, and Figma (reviewing deliverables and leaving comments, not designing).
- Consistent weekend availability; this role is structured around a Monday ship date and that's non-negotiable.
Nice to Have
