About the Role

As Head of Content at The Rundown, you'll own the editorial bar across all published content, including newsletters, social channels, guides, and new show formats. You will also build and lead the content team, recruiting, hiring, and developing writers, editors, and producers.

Responsibilities

• Own editorial quality across all properties: Review and edit the AI, Tech, and Robotics newsletters daily. Give direct, specific feedback to writers — not just line edits, but coaching on structure, angle, and voice.
• Enforce brand voice consistency: Ensure social posts, guides, newsletters, takeovers, and show content all sound and look like one publication. Maintain and evolve our voice guidelines as we add formats.
• Lead newsletter takeover editorial: Partner with the team to ensure every sponsored takeover meets our editorial standards. Push back on weak sponsor submissions and guide them toward content our audience will actually read.
• Scale the media ecosystem: Help us go from three newsletters to a full portfolio — new shows, new formats, repeatable editorial systems, and flywheels that compound across the content ecosystem.
• Build and lead the content team: Own the org design for editorial. Decide what roles we need next, when we need them, and what the reporting lines look like as we expand from three newsletters into shows, podcasts, and new formats.
• Recruit and hire top editorial talent: Partner with ops to run the editorial hiring pipeline end-to-end — JDs, sourcing, screening, interviews, take-home tests, and close.
• Develop and retain the team: Run 1:1s, give hard feedback, set performance expectations, and own onboarding.
• Run editorial weekly calls: Lead weekly editorial syncs, track KPIs, surface bottlenecks, and bring new ideas to the CEO on where we should go next.
• Coach and develop: Help our broader writing team level up. Give hard feedback with care. Own onboarding and recruiting for new editorial hires.

Requirements

• A writer's editor: You've been a senior editor or managing editor at a publication, newsletter, or media brand. You can diagnose what's wrong with a draft in 30 seconds and articulate the fix clearly.
• AI-native: You use AI tools daily to research, draft, fact-check, and ship faster. You can tell immediately when a piece was AI-generated and poorly edited - and you know how to fix it.
• Obsessed with AI as a topic: You read our newsletter. You can tell the difference between genuinely important AI news and hype, and you have strong opinions about coverage.
• Voice-calibrated: You can write in someone else's voice, teach others to do the same, and hold the line on consistency across a team.
• A builder, not just an editor: You're excited about designing new content formats, not just polishing existing ones.
• High trust, high ownership: You'll be the senior editorial person at a company that doesn't have one today. You thrive with autonomy and you're good at managing up.
