Focus: The Hot Smart Rich newsletter, consumer news, and paid editorial
HSR Media is a modern media and investing platform for ambitious women, built at the intersection of media, business, investing, and culture, co-founded by Maggie Sellers Reum in 2023. Our flagship podcast, Hot Smart Rich, is a Top 10 Business podcast featuring candid conversations with the founders, investors, creators, and cultural figures shaping what comes next.
In December 2025, Hot Smart Rich announced a landmark seven-figure strategic investment from FlightStory, the global media and investment company co-founded by Steven Bartlett, host of The Diary of a CEO, the second-largest podcast in the world. The partnership backs our ambition to build the biggest female ambition brand of the next decade.
Our world sits somewhere between the Wall Street Journal and your For You Page. We are equally interested in what everyone is talking about and the business behind why it matters, helping our audience understand not just what is happening, but what it signals about where the world is going.
We are hiring a part-time Newsletter Producer / Editor to shape and produce the editorial side of the Hot Smart Rich newsletter.
The focus is consumer news, commentary, and paid editorial. You will act as a curator and editor: identifying the stories our audience should know, writing sharp headlines and commentary that explain why they matter, and helping develop and produce deeper paid content and Maggie's POV articles. Ultimately, your job is to help us make the content great, make people want to pay for it, and make it discoverable.
This role is fully remote and built around a recurring weekly publishing rhythm, which makes it a strong fit for an experienced editor or writer who wants meaningful ownership of a fast-growing editorial product without a full-time commitment. You will be building the editorial engine of a brand backed by one of the biggest names in media, and your fingerprints will be on every send.
Consumer news and commentary. Curate the most relevant weekly news across women's health and beauty, media and creators, e-commerce and retail, and tech, business, and investing. Identify which stories matter most to the HSR audience and, importantly, why. Write and refine headlines, summaries, and commentary that add context and perspective rather than simply recapping the news. Research and fact-check stories, companies, people, statistics, and source material. Maintain a pipeline of stories, emerging trends, and editorial opportunities throughout the week, and build and format editorial content across Substack and Beehiiv.
Paid and long-form editorial. Research, develop, write, and edit HSR paid content, including case studies and special editions. Support Maggie in developing POV-driven articles, turning her ideas, observations, and source material into polished editorial while preserving her voice completely. Write and edit with a focus on performance and converting free readers into paid subscribers, including titles, subtitles, hooks, intros, and paywall positioning that communicate why the content is worth paying for.
Performance and discovery. Use insights across opens, clicks, engagement, and paid conversion to sharpen future content and packaging. Optimize evergreen and long-form content for SEO, search intent, and emerging AI-driven discovery without compromising HSR's editorial voice. Leverage AI and emerging tools to make research and editorial workflows more efficient without compromising quality or accuracy.
By 30 days, you own the weekly curation and production rhythm end to end, your headlines and commentary ship with minimal revision, and your first paid piece is live.
By 90 days, the newsletter's paid conversion is measurably improving on the strength of your packaging and editorial instincts, you have built recurring franchises readers look forward to, and Maggie's POV articles sound so much like her that no one would guess a second writer was involved.
You are the kind of person who is waiting for Rhode's next launch but reads the Wall Street Journal to understand how the business is actually performing. You read the NYT, live and breathe Substack, consume pop culture news, and always seem to know which brands, creators, and conversations are gaining momentum before everyone else does. You move fluently between culture and capital, spot the signal in the noise, and turn it into editorial that makes readers smarter.
