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.

– Marketing Brew keeps over 100,000 marketing professionals up to date on the latest marketing news and insight.

– Manage team of vertical editors
– Collaborate with vertical editors to generate, vet, and strengthen new product ideas as well as to grow existing products

– Generate, prioritize, and execute on ideas for special projects and built-if-sold editorial initiatives
– Support audience development across verticals by working with engagement and growth teams
