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)
