Job description

About People Managing People:

People Managing People helps executives and people leaders build AI-enabled, human-centered organizations that thrive.

We provide peer-driven insights, practical frameworks, operational playbooks, and community-powered experiences focused on HR strategy, AI in the workplace, talent and recruitment, employee retention and culture, workforce management, and modern people leadership.

Our audience includes CHROs, chief people officers, HR and people leaders, talent and recruiting leaders, operations executives, and senior people practitioners looking for practical insight, trustworthy guidance, and meaningful professional connection.

About the Role:

We are looking for a Senior Editor to help build People Managing People into a trusted, community-powered media brand for people leaders and HR professionals.

This role is responsible for growing loyal, engaged people leadership and HR audiences through authoritative, practitioner-led editorial experiences across articles, newsletters, social, video, podcasts, livestreams, events, and strategic partnerships.

This is not a traditional editing role focused only on publishing content. It is an audience growth and editorial leadership role centered on creating serious-fun, decision-support content that helps people leaders make better decisions, build healthier cultures, adopt AI-enabled ways of working, strengthen their teams, and navigate the changing realities of modern people leadership.

You will help shape the voice, authority, growth, and audience experience of the brand.

Your work should increase subscriber growth, newsletter engagement, return audience behavior, topical authority, and trust with people leaders and HR professionals.

Who You Are:

You understand how to create editorial brands that professionals actively trust, return to, and recommend.

You are deeply curious about how people leaders and HR professionals operate, lead teams, adopt AI-enabled workflows, build culture, develop talent, and navigate organizational complexity.

You know how to turn practitioner insight into useful editorial experiences that feel credible, clear, visual, engaging, and worth sharing.

You are not just a writer or editor. You are a builder of audience systems, community loops, and repeat engagement.

You think beyond articles and understand that modern editorial engagement happens across newsletters, video, podcasts, social, community discussions, livestreams, events, partnerships, search, and AI discovery experiences.

You are comfortable experimenting with formats, workflows, packaging, distribution strategies, and audience experiences to improve performance over time.

You care about usefulness, clarity, audience trust, and measurable impact.

What You'll Be Doing:

1. Build engaged, community-powered editorial experiences

You will create serious-fun, expert-driven editorial and audience experiences that grow subscribers, increase newsletter engagement, and build loyal engineering, AI, and technology leadership audiences.

  • Create, assign, edit, write, and publish editorial content across articles, newsletters, social, short-form video, narrative video, podcasts, livestreams, events, and community formats
  • Develop content informed by real practitioner insight, including interviews, contributor conversations, engineering communities, surveys, Q&As, and social listening
  • Create audience experiences focused on engineering leadership, AI adoption, scalability, platform reliability, developer productivity, infrastructure, security, and modern technology execution
  • Help program and support webinars, livestreams, roundtables, podcasts, and editorial event experiences
  • Repurpose editorial IP into newsletter blocks, social content, video clips, lead magnets, reports, and community assets
  • Ensure editorial output reflects the publication's tone, usefulness, authority, and audience relevance
  • Continuously identify opportunities to increase audience participation, contribution, sharing, and return engagement

2. Create insight-led decision-support content that performs

You will create and improve content that helps engineering, AI, and technology leaders make better technical, operational, AI, and organizational decisions.

  • Assign, edit, write, optimize, and experiment with JTBD, workflow, systems, tools, infrastructure, AI, and practitioner-led content
  • Build content that helps technology leaders understand what to do, how to do it, and what tools, systems, workflows, or approaches can help
  • Improve SEO-driven and community-driven content with stronger practitioner insight, storytelling, visuals, structure, examples, CTAs, and internal journeys
  • Build topical authority around engineering leadership, AI implementation, infrastructure, developer workflows, security, scalability, and operational execution
  • Produce and improve decision-support formats such as tools/tech roundups, benchmark reports, State of AI reports, engineering playbooks, expert interviews, surveys, member exclusives, and lead magnets
  • Use Marfeel, GA, HubSpot, newsletter data, and audience performance signals to guide optimization and experimentation
  • Test headlines, hooks, formats, distribution strategies, CTAs, and conversion pathways to improve performance
  • Monitor performance across subscriber growth, newsletter clicks, AI visibility, topical authority, engagement, and discoverability
  • Share learnings, experiments, and repeatable editorial playbooks across the organization

3. Expand audience reach, relationships, and distribution

You will help grow People Managing People through contributor relationships, strategic partnerships, distribution systems, and community engagement.

  • Identify, recruit, and manage engineering contributors, AI practitioners, technical SMEs, partners, and executive voices
  • Build contributor content audience community growth loops
  • Act as a visible host and guardian of the brand across newsletters, events, podcasts, social, community spaces, and contributor relationships
  • Package and distribute content across newsletter, social, search, Discover, podcast, video, community, partner, and digital PR channels
  • Collaborate on co-created reports, research, surveys, multimedia initiatives, and strategic partnerships
  • Represent the brand through events, panels, podcasts, conferences, and external opportunities when useful
  • Build and maintain reusable insight libraries containing interviews, quotes, patterns, transcripts, and community intelligence
  • Track relationship-building and distribution performance based on subscriber growth, newsletter engagement, RFV, authority signals, and audience quality

  • Increased authority signals, search visibility, and AI discovery presence
  • Performance of decision-support and practitioner-led content
