Overview

We are introducing a vertical to Morning Brew for the IT professional, and we’re looking for an editor to lead and shape coverage. This is both a strategic and hands-on role that will allow you to shape the future of this exciting new publication. If you like the challenge of starting an outlet from the ground up, setting editorial strategy and helping reporters execute on stories, well, we’ve got the gig for you. 

As part of Morning Brew’s business-to-business (B2B) editorial strategy, IT Brew sits alongside four other B2B publications: Marketing Brew, Retail Brew, HR Brew, and Emerging Tech Brew. 

IT Brew is a B2B publication that covers all aspects of an IT professional’s job: from the ongoing shift of the responsibilities of IT departments due to remote working, to the impact of daily security threats, to the hardware and software needed for companies to exist in today’s age. 

The outlet will be a combination of original reporting and expert contributors offering advice, tips and research, all in service of the mission to help IT professionals make better decisions. 

Here’s what you’ll be working on:

- Manage day-to-day operations of the IT Brew newsletter production process, including assigning/approving stories, editing pieces, and writing headlines.

- Manage, coach, and develop a team of two reporters.

- Overseeing a stable of contributors; managing said contributor network.

- Generate, develop, and execute ideas for non-newsletter products and other special editorial projects. 

- Serve as a strategic liaison with growth, engagement, integrated marketing, and sales teams.  

- Write stories if and as needed. 

- Enforce Morning Brew editorial guidelines, editing content for high-level substance, Brew tone and voice, and standard copy. 

- Support optimization of existing content processes and establish new ones where needed.

- Support analysis of audience trends. 

What makes you qualified?

- At least 8 years of professional editorial experience

- At least 5 years experience managing a team of writers

- Ability to write in the Morning Brew style (engaging, informative, clever) 

- Flexible worker who is equally motivated by strategic, long-term thinking and hands-on execution. 

- Ability to intentionally experiment with, iterate on, and make hard decisions about new product offerings. 

- Excellent communication skills with a mindset for collaboration. 

- Ability to operate in a high-pressure environment with tight deadlines. 

- Understanding of how to leverage multiple platforms (email, social media, etc.) to engage with the target audience.
