Morning Brew seeks an executive editor

We’re Morning Brew — a bunch of smart, dedicated people focused on disrupting and redefining the traditional business news landscape. Also, we’re nice and have great swag. We are looking for a managing/executive editor to lead our B2B content organization.

Morning Brew’s HQ is in New York City, but this role can be remote if needed.

It’s our goal to make the business world more engaging for the modern business leader. How? By giving our audience the news they need in a way they actually enjoy. Across newsletters, podcasts, social, and (soon) even more, we’re building something special. Want in? Read on.

Oh yeah, just so we’re clear… We’re not a coffee company.
