The Digital Editor, Fortune, will shepherd the brand, which boasts massive franchises like Most Powerful Women and 100 Best Companies to Work For, into the digital future.
This is a key role for a bright mind interested in measuring current digital success and driving future growth. Those who don’t possess a deep enthusiasm for tech, new media and content experiences need not apply. Performance in the job will be measured by the basic metrics of audience growth and engagement, as well as by staff performance and retention.
You will:
- Use your deep knowledge of business news and experience to build loyal and engaged new audiences
- Measure social media engagement, search optimization strategy and key new media growth initiatives
- Manage and inspire a direct staff of roughly 40 people, while driving culture change for a broader staff of twice that size
- Drive integrated print and digital content experience initiatives
- Double organic traffic to the website over the next twelve months – without compromising engagement
You are:
- Proven: Over the course of your experience reporting on business, you’ve built deep relationships with sources, leaders and fellow content creators. This isn’t your first major content job; you come with a clip file that proves your value as an accomplished, well-sourced writer with a journalism background that matches your enthusiasm for the new media frontier.
- Goal-obsessed: We know you love digital media. Show us. You’re enthusiastic about taking on a role leading growth and are excited by the opportunity of an uncharted course. You understand that this role is attached to specific growth targets, and are prepared to double organic traffic within the year, and at the same time create a deeply engaged audience that will return to Fortune on a regular basis.
- A no-ego leader: You don’t passively observe. You embed yourself into new communities, leading teams to change not from an ivory tower, but with a contagious enthusiasm they can’t help but feel while working alongside you on a project.
- Fast, not loose: You move a million miles a minute, not because you have to, but because you don’t know how to work another way. You thrive in a fast-paced environment, prioritizing deadlines and self-directing without compromising the quality of your output.
