Role summary:The Managing Editor runs the operational engine of the editorial team. This role turns strategy and drafts into a functioning production pipeline across all content streams (thought leadership, developer content, customer stories, product marketing content, etc.). This person is most responsible for whether things ship on time and at a consistent bar.
Core responsibilities:- In conjunction with Editorial Content Director, own and maintain the master editorial calendar across all content streams, sequencing work so there is no competition for the same limited writing capacity
- Manage the brief-to-publish workflow: assigning work, setting deadlines, tracking status, unblocking bottlenecks
- Own the review/approval routing for each content type: legal and PR for thought leadership, engineering/DevRel sign-off for developer content, customer and legal approval for customer stories, product marketing alignment for product content
- Set and enforce production-level style and quality standards (distinct from the Content Strategist's audience/strategy standards)
- Manage relationships with freelancers, contractors, and cross-functional SME contributors who feed content into the pipeline
- Report to the Head of Editorial Content on throughput, capacity, and delivery risk
- Own and manage the 24-hour review in the blog tracker
- Run competitive and content-gap analysis to identify where the team's limited capacity should go
- Ensures style guide story alignment (with Content Editor contributing)
- Present editorial performance metrics to cross-functional stakeholders in conjunction with Editorial Director
- Partner with Growth Marketing on content positioning alignment
- Work with MarOps on attribution and any potential pipeline content
Qualifications- 10+ years of experience in editorial or content operations
- Experience running multi-stream or multi-format editorial pipelines (not just a single blog)
