LinkedIn is looking for a top journalist who wants to help define the future of how German-speaking professionals create, curate and consume business content.
The LinkedIn editorial team drives the Influencer program — where the world’s top professional voices share their insights — and helps steer the content that flows through LinkedIn. The mission of a LinkedIn editor centers on the three Cs: Curate, Create, Cultivate. As the DACH senior editor, you’ll help German-speaking professionals get the news they need to be better at what they do and get them writing what they know in order to drive the business conversation.
The Senior Editor will be responsible for driving the editorial strategy in German-speaking markets, working closely with other editors around the world, with engineers and with other departments to drive the engagement of German-speaking LinkedIn members. You’ll identify and work with a roster of top thought leaders in Germany, professionals who want to weigh in with breaking views about the business world, the German economy and their industries.
You’ll also be responsible for reaching out to huge numbers of professionals — many of whom have never written before but have insights that deserve to be heard — to get them sharing their thoughts. You’ll identify, work with and curate great content from top German-language publishers and work with other editors to share content across languages. You’ll set the tone for the editorial voice of LinkedIn and be its face at industry events and in media. And you’ll come up with new ways to combine content with the data and systems that make LinkedIn unique.
The Senior Editor should have experience with original and curated news, know or have paths to reach top thought leaders, have incredibly strong news sense, be deeply knowledgeable about business content, and be a sharp and quick writer and editor. Most importantly, you should have an entrepreneurial spirit and be able to quickly adapt a strategy to the facts on the ground. The editor should have knowledge of the business environment in Germany, and the DACH region in general. The ideal candidate is as interested in shaping a product as shaping a story.
The position is based in Munich (flexible), reporting to LinkedIn’s international editor and working with teams in New York, San Francisco, São Paulo, London, Paris, Sydney and Bangalore.
