Tech Policy Press: Managing Editor
The role of Managing Editor is the conductor of Tech Policy Press, running its day-to-day editorial operations across web, newsletter, and podcast formats. It is a pivotal position on a small team that publishes daily commentary, analysis and reporting in close collaboration with an extensive network of writers—including contributing editors, fellows, freelancers and expert contributors based around the world.
This is primarily an internally focused job, focused on the seam between editorial strategy and execution. The Managing Editor’s day is built around a steady stream of consequential calls made quickly and with incomplete information—what to publish today, what to hold, who to commission next, where to add an edit cycle and where to cut one—adjusted continuously to the demands of the news cycle. The work is high-frequency and high-trust, enabling the team to deliver editorial products at the quality and cadence Tech Policy Press’s readers and listeners expect.
The Managing Editor works in close partnership with the Editor and CEO and is expected to be supportive across the full range of organizational priorities. From time to time, the Managing Editor will also represent Tech Policy Press externally—participating in meetings, conferences, events, media appearances and other activities as the work requires.
