About the Role

Lead our editing team while staying hands-on with the edit yourself. This is a player-manager role where you will personally cut the highest-priority content, own the editing pipeline end to end, and manage a remote team of editors, balancing your own output with theirs. You will work closely with the Content Strategy Lead and partner with content production, graphic design, and creative strategy. This role has high visibility across major launches and partnerships at a fast-growing, premium global brand, with direct influence over creative standards, team structure, and function scaling.

Line-manage the editing team: allocate workload, quality-control output, and run development plans and reviews for each editor.
Personally edit highest-priority content, maintaining the expected standard.
Own the editing pipeline end to end, managing a high-volume, multi-project workload through peak launch periods without slippage.
Review performance data on published content and feed it back into how the team edits — hooks, retention, and what to change next time.
Work closely with content production, graphic design, and creative strategy teams.

Experience managing or mentoring other editors
A track record editing performance content, with a real understanding of hooks, retention, and iteration
