Which seniority makes sense?

Applied to: Review coverage, prioritise topics and prepare editorial newsletters.

Remote, hybrid or on-site?

Remote work is possible with approved systems. Agreed time windows, languages, handovers and escalation contacts matter; shift or weekend cover requires a separate agreement.
