Hypepotamus, the leading startup and technology publication in the Southeast U.S. is looking for a new editorial lead. This is a full-time position based in Atlanta. 

This is a high-touch role with almost unlimited potential and autonomy. The Editor-in-Chief has full editorial oversight across articles, photography, email newsletters, and social media. 

The EIC will manage a small staff of full and part-time employees that work largely remotely. The EIC will hold editorial meetings with the Managing Editor and other staff members, assign articles and interviews, and assess pitches and story ideas. The EIC typically also writes several stories a week.

The EIC serves as the face of the publication in the community, attending events, supporting and connecting community leaders, and speaking on panels and at events when appropriate.

Experience desired:

• Editorial: Experience in an editorial or communications role, ideally in written media, is required. Additional familiarity with working on a news cycle, media and public relations, and long-form features are highly desired. A degree in journalism, communications, PR or media would be exceptionally helpful.
• Startup/technology familiarity: You will cover companies across a broad range, from recently-founded to acquisition or IPO. Experience working at a high-growth startup, founding your own company (successful or not), or working in or with venture capital or growth equity investors is highly desired. 
• Management: The EIC manages a small team of dedicated employees along with a network of contributors and freelancers. Organizational and time management skills are essential. People management experience is a big plus.
• Community engagement: The EIC attends and occasionally speaks at events that range from casual startup pitch competitions to formal investor conferences. A willingness to attend events (sometimes in early mornings and nights) is required, as well as an ability to comport oneself appropriately. The EIC also participates in local ecosystem-building organizations as part of the role.

Education and work experience: 3-5 years of prior work experience and a Bachelor's degree (or equivalent) is required. Those with non-traditional backgrounds or experience are encouraged to apply.
