Senior Editor, CTO Club

About the Role:

We are looking for a Senior Editor to help build The CTO Club into a trusted, community-powered media brand for engineering, AI, and technology leaders.

This role is responsible for growing loyal, engaged engineering, AI, and technology leadership audiences through authoritative, practitioner-led editorial experiences across articles, newsletters, social, video, podcasts, live streams, 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 technology leaders make better decisions, discover better tools and workflows, understand emerging technologies, and navigate the changing realities of modern engineering 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 engineering, AI, and technology leaders.

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

You are deeply curious about how engineering, AI, and technology leaders operate, make technical decisions, adopt AI, manage infrastructure, scale organizations, and navigate 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, live streams, 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.
