About Brass Check
Brass Check is the media company behind Daily Stoic and Daily Dad , two of the largest philosophy and personal development media brands in the world.

Across email, books, podcasts, YouTube, social media, courses, and more, our work reaches more than 5 million people. Our goal is simple: take timeless ideas and turn them into practical, useful content that helps people live better lives.

Email is at the center of what we do. Every day, hundreds of thousands of readers open emails from Daily Stoic, Daily Dad, and Ryan Holiday. We’re looking for an exceptional editor to help make those emails as thoughtful, sharp, useful, and engaging as possible.

The Role
We’re looking for a full-time Email Editor / Editor-in-Chief to join our team in Bastrop, Texas.

This person will take ownership of the editorial quality and execution of our email operation across Daily Stoic, Daily Dad, and Ryan Holiday.

You’ll work closely with Ryan Holiday, our Head of Content, Managing Editor, writers, and marketing team to edit daily emails, manage the publishing calendar, improve automated email sequences, and help execute launches and promotional campaigns.

This is not simply a proofreading position. We’re looking for someone with strong editorial judgment - someone who can take a good draft and make it great, recognize when an idea isn’t working, protect the voice of each brand, and ensure that everything we publish earns the reader’s attention.

What You’ll DoOwn Our Daily Emails

Edit Daily Stoic, Daily Dad, and Ryan Holiday emails for clarity, structure, voice, accuracy, and impact

Work with writers and editors to strengthen ideas, openings, arguments, transitions, and endings

Format, schedule, test, and publish emails in Kit/ConvertKit

Manage the weekly and monthly editorial calendar

Coordinate with the team to ensure emails are written, edited, approved, and scheduled on time

Publish selected emails and articles to DailyStoic.com and DailyDad.com

Maintain Editorial Standards

Serve as a final editorial quality check across emails, courses, website copy, and other written content

Maintain a consistent voice and standard across Daily Stoic, Daily Dad, and Ryan Holiday

Catch factual errors, awkward writing, repetition, weak arguments, and inconsistencies before they reach readers

Develop and maintain editorial guidelines and systems that make the entire team better

Improve Our Email Ecosystem

Review and improve existing automated email sequences

Build and maintain onboarding, evergreen, educational, and promotional flows

Identify outdated or underperforming emails and develop stronger replacements

Help us continually improve what subscribers receive from the moment they join one of our lists

Support Launches & Campaigns

Work with the broader team on campaigns for books, courses, products, events, and other launches

Help develop campaign concepts, angles, subject lines, and email sequences

Coordinate email campaigns with podcast, YouTube, social, and other channels

Build and manage subscriber segments for targeted campaigns

Who We’re Looking For
You are an unusually strong reader, writer, and editor.

You’re also highly organized. Publishing multiple emails to millions of readers every week requires both creativity and operational discipline.

You’ll likely be a strong fit if you:

Have exceptional writing and editing skills

Have excellent editorial judgment and a strong sense of what makes writing interesting

Can preserve someone else’s voice rather than rewriting everything in your own

Are comfortable giving direct, thoughtful editorial feedback

Are extremely detail-oriented

Can manage multiple deadlines and publishing calendars without things falling through the cracks

Understand email as both an editorial medium and a business channel

Have experience with Kit/ConvertKit or another major email platform

Are interested in philosophy, history, books, personal development, parenting, or the kinds of ideas Daily Stoic and Daily Dad explore

Read widely and are naturally curious

Experience in publishing, journalism, newsletters, media, or direct-response email is helpful, but excellent judgment and writing ability matter more to us than a particular résumé.

What Success Looks Like
You’ll know you’re doing the job well when:

Every email we send feels polished and worth opening

Our publishing schedule runs smoothly and reliably

Writers receive useful feedback that improves their work

The voice of each brand remains distinct and consistent

Our automated sequences get better instead of slowly becoming outdated

Launches are organized well in advance rather than assembled at the last minute

Readers trust that an email from us will be worth their time

Compensation & Benefits

Competitive salary based on experience

Health insurance

401(k) with company matching

Paid time off

The opportunity to work directly with a small, experienced media team

Significant responsibility and ownership over publications reaching millions of people

A chance to help shape the editorial direction of Daily Stoic and Daily Dad
