Apply for Senior Editor, The COO Club

The COO Club, part of Black & White Zebra, is seeking a Senior Editor for a full‑time, on‑site position in NJ, US. This role offers significant career growth opportunities.

The COO Club is a senior media brand focused on operations leadership. It delivers peer‑driven insights, practical frameworks, executive playbooks, software guidance, events, and community‑powered experiences.

You can turn practitioner insight into clear, visual, engaging editorial experiences and build audience systems and community loops. You are comfortable experimenting with formats, workflows, packaging, distribution strategies, and audience experiences.
