[Hiring] Managing Editor @Cohere

Role Description

The Managing Editor runs the operational engine of the editorial team. This role turns strategy and drafts into a functioning production pipeline across all content streams (thought leadership, developer content, customer stories, product marketing content, etc.). This person is most responsible for whether things ship on time and at a consistent bar.

Core Responsibilities

• In conjunction with Editorial Content Director, own and maintain the master editorial calendar across all content streams, sequencing work so there is no competition for the same limited writing capacity.
• Manage the brief-to-publish workflow: assigning work, setting deadlines, tracking status, unblocking bottlenecks.
• Own the review/approval routing for each content type: legal and PR for thought leadership, engineering/DevRel sign-off for developer content, customer and legal approval for customer stories, product marketing alignment for product content.
• Set and enforce production-level style and quality standards (distinct from the Content Strategist's audience/strategy standards).
• Manage relationships with freelancers, contractors, and cross-functional SME contributors who feed content into the pipeline.
• Report to the Head of Editorial Content on throughput, capacity, and delivery risk.
• Own and manage the 24-hour review in the blog tracker.
• Run competitive and content-gap analysis to identify where the team's limited capacity should go.
• Ensures style guide story alignment (with Content Editor contributing).
• Present editorial performance metrics to cross-functional stakeholders in conjunction with Editorial Director.
• Partner with Growth Marketing on content positioning alignment.
• Work with MarOps on attribution and any potential pipeline content.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in editorial or content operations.
• Experience running multi-stream or multi-format editorial pipelines (not just a single blog).

Benefits

• A weekly lunch stipend of $75/£75 or equivalent in your local currency for lunch.
• Full health and dental benefits, including a separate budget for mental health.
• RRSP matching, 401K, Pension Scheme.
• 100% Parental Leave top-up for up to 6 months, for either parent.
• Annual enrichment benefits: Arts & culture, fitness/wellness, quality time, and a workspace improvement credit.
• Education & learning stipend for conferences, courses, and coaching.
• 6 weeks of paid vacation (30 working days!).
• Budget for traveling to other offices if you are remote, plus an annual company offsite.

How and Where We Work

• For those in the office: a daily lunch program, plenty of snacks, and regular community and social events.
• For those not near an office: a co-working benefit so you can work alongside others in your city.
• Everyone receives a $500 home office stipend to set up your workspace properly.
