In this role, you will be responsible for both the big picture and the smaller details. Working with WIRED’s senior leadership, you’ll develop and constantly iterate on editorial strategies that will deliver results across coverage areas; you’ll develop coverage plans around tech companies, personalities, and events, and you’ll manage a budget and a freelance roster. You’ll be responsible for working with senior editors on your team to implement your strategies and plans, and partnering closely with audience development to maximize the reach and impact of the journalism you oversee. You’ll also collaborate frequently with WIRED’s digital video team to execute cross-platform coverage that brings the best of WIRED to platforms including YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram Reels.
To be successful in this position you should have extensive knowledge of the tech industry’s major and upcoming players, and a demonstrated history of leading teams that break news. The ideal candidate should have an informed view of the power of big platforms, the impact of artificial intelligence, the future of work, and other key areas of our coverage. We’re less interested in earnings reports than getting inside pivotal companies and exploring their influence. On a tactical level, we’re looking for someone who is a strategic, empathetic, and collaborative leader: Since you’ll be managing both editors and writers, you need to know when to lean in and when to delegate, and how to motivate a team; given the cross-border and cross-functional nature of this role, you’ll also need to work effectively with other members of the WIRED team and partners across Conde Nast. Ultimately, you’ll be responsible for the success of WIRED’s Business section as measured by audience size and engagement.
