Editor-in-Chief

The business journal Editor in Chief (EIC), as the highest ranking newsroom leader, is primarily responsible for driving product strategy and product quality across all platforms, and for relentlessly building an audience. The EIC is expected to show an insatiable desire and proven ability to drive audience loyalty and growth, especially in the digital arena. The EIC must be equally at home in both the print and digital spheres -- but leadership and innovation must be particularly pronounced on digital platforms where business journals have the most growth potential.

The EIC position is far-reaching and demanding, with competencies and responsibilities that include: -- Molding, then generating, best-of-breed media products -- Serving as a key public face for the organization -- Mentoring and developing talent -- Knowledgeably optimizing digital content reach and impact -- Hands-on editing and content shaping -- Constant innovation -- Aggressive marketing of the product, its offerings, and its people

To be successful, the EIC must possess sharp hard news instincts, have a burning curiosity about business and people, a deft editing hand and be equal parts leader, entrepreneur and marketer. The EIC will occupy, along with a Print Editor (PE), Social Media & Engagement Manager (SMEM) and Managing Editor (ME), the Office of the Editor. The PE, SMEM and ME will report directly to the Editor in Chief and will be responsible for the production of our print and media products on all platforms, as well as share audience-growth objectives and goals. As part of the leadership team, the EIC fills a critical position in the Business Journal organization and in collaboration with the Publisher helps identify and address new business and audience opportunities to extend the brand, be it in print, online, social, events, video or other. The EIC is expected to attend key client presentations and events. The EIC's role in these gatherings is to represent the product and articulate the content and audience strategies.
