The Opportunity

As a Market Curation Editor for Culture, you'll support the Product Data Operations team supporting a new social-predictions app moving through a beta launch. An automated pipeline drafts candidate prediction markets every night; you are the human judgment layer on top of it — deciding which go live, sharpening the ones that are nearly right, and catching the markets the pipeline missed entirely. This role calls for deep, current fluency in the U.S. entertainment and cultural landscape: its shows, its stars, its fandoms, and what people are actually talking about this week.

This beta is likely to extend into a planned Phase 2 regional expansion, alongside surge periods around awards season and major season finales. ** Will be removed prior to posting

What You'll Do

• Review a daily queue of system-generated culture markets against a fixed completion deadline.
• Assess each candidate for factual accuracy, clarity, and whether the resolution criteria can actually be adjudicated — often the hardest part in culture, since release dates move, awards categories change, and charts revise their methodology.
• Verify that open and close timing matches the real event: an announcement, a broadcast, a release, a ceremony.
• Make the relevance call — decide whether a market is genuinely live right now, or technically correct but culturally dead. This judgment is the core of the role.
• Confirm policy fit against community standards and content guidelines. Culture sits closest to the line on markets about real people — escalate anything touching private life, health, minors, grief, or unverified allegations rather than making an unsupported call.
• Approve, edit, or reject each candidate, recording a structured reason every time — this record is a product deliverable, not admin.
• Rewrite questions and resolution language for precision and for how fans actually talk, including fandom vocabulary a generic writer would get wrong.
• Author timestamped clarifications when ambiguity emerges in a live market, and handle settlement on markets with no authoritative feed.
• Run proactive gap scans across social platforms, fan communities, and entertainment press for culturally live moments the pipeline missed.
• Participate in weekly calibration reviews to stay consistent with published guidelines and fellow curators.

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years in entertainment journalism, editorial, social or community management, or a comparable role requiring current subject-matter expertise.
