What are editorial leadership & strategy jobs?
Editorial leadership roles own a publication or a content operation rather than individual pieces: what it stands for, what it publishes, and who writes it. These are senior postings and there are never many of them open.
What these roles have in common
Every role here sets standards other people work to and is accountable for a body of work rather than a draft. All of them manage writers.
How the roles differ
Editor-in-Chief owns a publication and its editorial line. Head of Content and Content Director own a company's content operation, which is a commercial remit rather than a journalistic one. Editorial Strategist works on what the content programme should be without necessarily running the team.
Skills that transfer across the category
Editorial judgement, team and freelancer management, planning across long horizons, and defending quality against volume pressure. The gap between journalistic and commercial editorial leadership is mostly about who the audience serves.
Where these careers lead
Toward publisher or head of brand roles, or into general content and marketing leadership.
