Arrowfly seeks an enthusiastic, communicative, and detail-oriented Associate Editor to work on our MassDevice (www.massdevice.com) and Medical Design & Outsourcing (www.medicaldesignandoutsourcing.com) brands.

This is an excellent early-career opportunity for a candidate passionate about covering medtech, a field that focuses on improving and saving people’s lives. MassDevice is the online business journal of the medical device industry, and MDO is the go-to place for insights into medical technology.

In this role, you'll draw from your strong writing and editing foundation while developing skills in audience engagement and digital content strategy.

We value candidates eager to learn and collaborate. This is a position for people willing to get outside their comfort zone and stretch their abilities to do new things, whether it’s interviewing a CEO, hosting a webinar, moderating an event panel, growing a LinkedIn following, or using performance data (from website analytics, social media, newsletters) to understand audience behavior and refine our content approach to create insightful stories that go beyond what an AI would be able to generate. If you're a proactive individual eager to grow your editorial career with a supportive team, we encourage you to apply.
