Silicon Valley Biz Journal seeks managing editor

The Silicon Valley Business Journal tells the story of the world’s most innovative companies, documenting how they affect global business and our region.

Our Managing Editor is the newsroom’s chief operating officer, overseeing and ensuring the smooth and orderly flow of content from conception to publishing on all platforms. As the newsroom’s most hands-on manager and coach of reporters, the M.E. is charged with bringing ideas, inspiration, and constant guidance to the content team.

Reporting directly to the Editor-In-Chief (EIC), the Managing Editor actively oversees and directs the deployment of resources across the many publishing platforms – online, mobile, email, print, social, etc. – hour by hour, minute by minute.

The M.E. is charged with guiding the constant programming efforts of the content team, and as such, must possess a solid news sense, an ability to make snap judgments about the proper treatment of stories, and a high level of confidence in orchestrating the many simultaneous actions of the editorial team members.

To apply, send a resume and cover letter of no more than 200 words to Editor in Chief Greg Baumann at gbaumann@bizjournals.com.
