Role description
Think of it like a research-backed deep dive, but for the world of work. Each issue tackles one real workplace problem: what's actually happening, why it happens (grounded in psychology and behavioural science), and what actually works to fix it. This is for someone who is active in the HR or people ops space, knows what good culture actually looks like in practice, and can turn research into a compelling, insight-driven read.
We're looking for someone who:
- Works in or around HR, people ops, L&D, or organisational psychology
- Is familiar with the process of reaching out to and interviewing professionals in the people space
- Can extract the real story from a conversation – not just surface-level quotes
- Loves behavioural science and can connect real-world examples to the research
- Is reliable, fast, and open to feedback
- Has experience writing newsletters, interviews, profiles, or editorial content

- Write an intro that frames the problem (what's happening, why it matters right now)
- Pull out 3-5 key insights grounded in behavioural science or org psychology
- Back it up with real examples, data points, or research to give context
- Close with 2-3 takeaways readers can apply to their own teams
