Job description

Gulfshore Life Magazine - Managing Editor
Location: Bonita Springs, FL | Full-time, on-site
(Remote applicants will not be considered)
Who We Are
Gulfshore Life is Southwest Florida's leading luxury lifestyle publication, covering the people, places and culture of Naples, Fort Myers, Sanibel Island and beyond for more than five decades. (Coverage area: Collier, Lee and Charlotte counties.)
We are a locally owned publication with stable, long-term ownership and a continued commitment to local journalism. In a media landscape where print is often contracting, the magazine remains our flagship, supported by thoughtful digital and event extensions.
We produce 12 monthly issues and multiple special editions each year, delivering reported, high-level lifestyle journalism for a discerning, engaged readership-with a strong emphasis on taste, context and visual authority. Creativity and editorial quality are our cornerstones.The Opportunity
The Managing Editor is a cornerstone role. You'll shape how the magazine functions day-to-day, building the systems and workflows that enable a creative team to work efficiently while maintaining a high editorial standard. This role balances structure and judgment, anticipating pressure points, bringing clarity to complex production cycles and helping strong ideas move smoothly from concept to finished package.
This is a full-time, in-office role based in Bonita Springs. Familiarity with Southwest Florida is preferred.
Who You Are
You're an editorial leader with a systems brain. You see patterns quickly, build workflows that scale creative teams and keep multi-issue production humming. You bring strong top-editing instincts across lifestyle categories and thrive in a fast-paced, high-standard editorial environment.
You:
  • Understand magazine production and can foresee bottlenecks weeks before anyone else sees them
  • Build clear, replicable systems-templates, checklists, processes-that level up junior editors and reduce single-person bottlenecks
  • Have strong editorial judgment and can top-edit confidently across sections, shaping structure, sharpening angles and elevating writers
  • Communicate with calm authority; you hold deadlines firmly while supporting the people responsible for meeting them
  • Enjoy organizing complex workflows and take pride in making editorial teams feel clear, efficient and empowered
  • Can navigate both long-lead print cycles and shorter digital timelines with strategic clarity and sound judgment
What Sets You Apart
  • You're a builder: you design systems that survive real-world pressure. You have a track record of keeping new workflows running long after they're introduced.
  • You elevate writers and editors through clear, actionable guidance.
  • You understand how story framing, structure and packaging shape reader experience.
  • You manage with steadiness: direct, thoughtful, reliable.
  • You're energized by making a creative team smarter, faster and more capable.
What You'll Do
Own and Optimize Editorial Workflow
  • Oversee the full production calendar across monthly issues, special editions, newsletters and digital production
  • Anticipate pressure points and adjust timelines, workloads and expectations before problems arise
  • Keep the team aligned on deadlines, deliverables and next steps
  • Identify where workflows can be streamlined without compromising editorial quality
Build Systems That Scale
  • Create templates and playbooks for story development, captions, proofing, fact-checking and layout workflows
  • Identify single-point bottlenecks and design systems that distribute knowledge and responsibility
Top-Edit Across the Publication
  • Shape and elevate drafts across design, arts & culture, food & wine, wellness, profiles, service packages, society and philanthropy
  • Guide writers and junior editors with clear structural and conceptual edits
Hire, Develop and Mentor Talent
  • Lead hiring and onboarding for fellows, interns and junior editors
  • Build repeatable frameworks that help junior staff grow and operate more independently
Drive Multi-Issue Planning
  • Map overlapping magazine cycles and ensure realistic staffing and sequencing
  • Partner closely with design and photo on art needs, timelines and page flow
  • Maintain lineup documents, trackers and schedules
Support the Editor-in-Chief
  • Serve as a strategic partner on planning, quality control and systems design
  • Provide clear-eyed assessments of staffing needs, workflow stress points and process improvements
Requirements
  • 10+ years of editorial experience in magazines, high-level lifestyle journalism or multi-product media environments
  • Proven experience managing complex production calendars and overlapping deadlines
  • Demonstrated ability to top-edit with clarity, structural insight and high editorial standards
  • Strong organizational and time-management skills; comfort with detail-heavy workflows
  • Experience in developing and managing freelancers
  • Ability to collaborate with design, photo and digital teams on story packaging
  • Digital fluency-comfortable shaping stories for web and social
  • Willingness to work in-office full-time and attend evening/weekend events as needed
  • A calm, authoritative communication style that reinforces accountability and builds trust

Physical Requirements:
  • Ability to sit or stand for extended periods and use hands for typing and editing.
  • Ability to lift up to 20 pounds occasionally.
  • Visual and auditory ability to review content and attend meetings.
  • Occasional travel may be required.
Why This Role
  • You'll shape how one of the region's most influential lifestyle magazines functions at its highest level.
  • You'll build systems and structures that elevate the entire editorial team.
  • You'll work closely with a committed creative team, producing ambitious lifestyle journalism.
  • You'll contribute to a trusted regional brand with a long-standing editorial legacy.
  • You'll work in a place where editorial judgment, visual storytelling and longform are central.
Benefits:
Full-time new hires: Eligible to participate in all Company benefit plans, including:
  • Health, Dental, Vision Insurance, and HSA
    • 1st of the month after 30 days of employment
    • Subject to plan terms
  • Eligibility for company-paid benefits such as life insurance & EAP and employee-paid benefits such as short-term disability
  • PTO - Earned on Accrual Basis
  • Company-Paid Holidays
  • 401(k)

Please submit: a PDF resume, cover letter and 3-5 clips (or portfolio link) that show your editorial strengths-particularly top-editing, structuring and systems-oriented work.
*Please no phone calls or emails regarding this position
