Director Content Strategy Jobs in Raleigh, NC (NOW HIRING)

Executive Editor, US, Deloitte Insights

Deloitte Services LP is seeking an executive editor to join Deloitte Insights, Deloitte's publishing imprint for business research and insights. The executive editor will report to and partner with the global editor in chief to oversee content development, quality, and value.

Deloitte Insights is a resource to current and future business/organizational leaders across industries and geographies, offering them the data, analysis, and ideas they need to develop and implement their strategic agendas. We publish 400+ thought leadership pieces annually, from articles and research reports, to infographics, dashboards, and videos.

Our aim is to ensure that Deloitte Insights' thought leadership connects with what target audiences care about and need to know, and offers them new ideas, relevant data, and actionable insights. That said, the executive editor will need to know and stay up to speed on what's new and noteworthy to our target audiences, and be able to use audience insights to make data-driven story decisions. You'll be a champion for our audience, with a deep understanding of their content consumption behaviors and preferences. Working closely with subject matter specialists, researchers, data science and visualization professionals, designers, video strategists, and production specialists, you'll apply an outside-in lens to content planning, storytelling, and quality control, and deliver our content via a compelling, digital-first experience.

The executive editor is both a strategic leader and a hands-on editor who can coach others, sharpen ideas, improve storytelling, and help Deloitte authors and stakeholders communicate with clarity, rigor, and impact. You'll help shape and elevate the Deloitte Insights portfolio across digital formats, ensuring that individual pieces and integrated content packages work together to serve audience needs and business priorities.

You'll need to be a true-blue editor, with deep experience dissecting and reassembling stories to make them shine, someone who both excels at strategic storytelling and can apply AP style in their sleep-someone who knows the rules but also has the nuanced editorial skills to know how, when, and why to break them. In this role, you'll need to know when a draft is fine as is and when (and how) to attack a draft and distill it to its essence.

And you'll need to be an expert coach. The executive editor will be leading and collaborating with editors to help them improve their work-and also with subject matter experts (researchers and business partners) who may or may not be adept writers in their own right. This requires strong stakeholder management skills and influence to ensure that editors learn from you in each collaboration, and authors see the logic and value of your suggested edits.

The ideal candidate will have deep journalistic experience; a passion for accuracy, clarity, and compelling storytelling; and a demonstrated ability to communicate big ideas simply. This candidate will have experience working with senior business leaders and subject matter experts across a variety of business topics. The candidate should understand the dynamics of modern digital publishing and best practices for optimizing business content.

Our Deloitte Insights publishing team comprises editors plus design, data visualization, video, and production professionals located around the world. The executive editor will report to the editor in chief, based in the United States.

• Leading continuous process improvement for editorial systems and workflows to improve team collaboration and the quality and efficiency of the work, including identifying and testing new ways of working, and determining appropriate ways to integrate new tech/AI solutions for efficiency and quality assurance
• Championing responsible AI use: Promoting and modeling responsible use of AI, ensuring that humans lead original thought creation, analysis, writing, editing, fact-checking, and final publication decisions in line with firm policies
• Advising authors and stakeholders: Coaching Deloitte content creators on language usage, writing style, and storytelling effectiveness
