Managing Editor

Pubity has built one of the largest social audiences in the world by sourcing and curating news, culture, entertainment, and the conversations shaping the internet. Now we are building an original editorial operation around that audience, with a focus on original reporting and stories that matter. The Managing Editor will define what news at Pubity looks like, from the stories we cover and originate to how we tell them across social and owned platforms. You'll launch Pubity's first original news social posts, establish an original reporting practice, and build the editorial team, standards, and systems needed to support both.

Develop repeatable editorial formats and franchises across explainers, interviews, recurring features, and other forms of storytelling. Newsletters, web & owned audience Develop the strategy for converting Pubity's existing social reach into a meaningful owned audience and direct relationship with readers. Launch Pubity's first flagship newsletter and/or web proposition, owning its editorial purpose, format, voice, cadence, and day-to-day execution. Build a newsletter people actively choose to read, rather than simply another distribution channel for existing social content. Use what we learn from the newsletter to identify other editorial products and opportunities that could have a life beyond social.
