Gauge seeks a freelance cultural editor to provide 10-15 hours/week of editorial support for our platform, recently featured in the Washington Post.

Depending on interests and experience, the cultural editor may eventually focus on or own specific key verticals (Gen Z, tech, beauty, AAPI community, etc.).
