Run Cohere's editorial function, responsible for everything published under our name.
Inherit and raise the standard of the established function.
Own the editorial vision, publishing calendar, writers, and long-form output across various media formats.
Lead storytelling internally and externally, ensuring a cohesive narrative.
Define and maintain editorial standards, sensibility, and brand voice.
Build and manage the publishing calendar with clear themes and cadence.
Develop engaging editorial work, including essays, features, and podcasts.
Cultivate a readership and align internal storytelling with the company's vision.

15+ years in editorial leadership roles, with a clear track record of shipping ambitious long-form work at a high standard.
A portfolio (written, filmed, recorded, edited, or commissioned) you can walk us through with conviction.
Real editor's chops. You can edit a draft at the sentence and structural levels, and you can articulate what you're doing and why.
A demonstrated ability to run a publishing operation: calendar, budget, contributor pipeline, rights, production. The unsexy part of the job is non-negotiable.
Cultural fluency across multiple worlds (journalism, design, fashion, music, art, the internet) and a track record of bringing that fluency into the work.
A working network of writers, photographers, filmmakers, and producers you'd want to bring with you.
Experience leading editorial teams and managing external creative partners.
The ability to operate inside a fast-moving company with complex subject matter. And the curiosity to actually engage with the subject matter, not just package it.
