Built In is on a mission to unite technology professionals with their purpose.  We do that through the power of content.  Today, over one million registered users and 4.5 million technology professionals use our platform every year to learn about innovative companies, new technologies and further their careers.

The caliber of audience we’ve cultivated means that over 1800 companies--from the hottest tech startups to Fortune 500 companies undergoing digital transformation-- trust us to share their employer brand story and fill the technology roles that drive their strategy.  

Because we can help employers find hard to recruit talent, our B2B side is thriving.  In addition our users are finding great jobs and advancing their careers and knowledge of the tech world with Built In. That means we are rapidly growing our product and technology footprint as we are committed to building the leading SaaS product for employer branding and talent activation.

With venture funding of $30M to date with a $22M Series C raise in 2019, we are poised to disrupt recruiting for hard-to-fill roles and help technologists find their dream jobs--in their city, around the country or completely remote. If you are looking for an award-winning culture, have a desire to help people find their calling  and want to be part of building best-in-class technology, Built In might fulfill your purpose.

We’re Looking for an Assistant Managing Editor

Built In’s editorial team reaches millions of tech professionals by reporting on the news in the markets and communities we serve, working with outside experts to share their stories and experiences, and producing original features and professional development content across a wide variety of both tech and business topics. As the team — and its reach — has grown, so too has its complexity. Now, we’re looking for an assistant managing editor to refine our editorial operations and help prepare us for continued expansion.

You’ll report to the managing director of editorial and work closely with content team leaders to improve both the efficiency and effectiveness of our production and distribution systems with the goal of expanding our reach. You’ll document, maintain and ensure compliance with best practices and processes. And you’ll generate and implement creative solutions to operational challenges as they present themselves.

This is an exciting opportunity — and a new position — in a growing department that’s doing ambitious editorial work and enthusiastically invests in team culture, even with our current, remote-only workforce. The ideal candidate is an extremely detail-oriented self-starter; organized (like very, very, organized); and motivated by working with and supporting an editorial team committed to delivering a consistent, high-quality product that instructs, informs and inspires tens of thousands of people every day.

How You’ll Contribute

• Oversee the production, distribution, improvement, and expansion of our biweekly content newsletter, which has grown from about 50,000 subscribers to nearly one million over the past 18 months; work with various stakeholders to create, audit and improve other distribution efforts.
• Collaborate with editorial team members, and across several editorial teams, to develop, maintain and/or ensure compliance with best practices and processes; own the editorial team’s library of resources, documentation and employee onboarding and professional development materials.
• Manage the team’s production calendars; monthly budget, subscriptions and expenses; and editorial roadmap, working with the director of editorial and other team leaders as needed.
• Support the growth of our editorial operation by building reports and dashboards that give the team greater visibility into how our content is performing, both in terms of reaching and providing value to our readers and in terms of supporting other business objectives; provide data-driven recommendations for process improvements; share analytics in team meetings to inform ongoing strategic decision-making and influence how and where we promote our editorial work.
• Serve as a point person and liaison between editorial and other Built In departments, including sales, marketing, product and engineering. Act as a champion for editorial inside the company.
• Cooperatively take on other operational duties, roles or responsibilities as needed and assigned.

What You Need

• A minimum of three years editorial experience — or directly relevant operations experience, such as in a project management role.
• The basics: strong news judgment; familiarity with AP style; an interest in startups, technology and entrepreneurship; excellent written and verbal communication skills; and an eye for engaging, audience-grabbing headlines and display copy.
• A proven track record of building strong, collaborative working relationships with colleagues and with teams across an organization.
• Excellent organizational skills, attention to detail, and a demonstrated ability to independently manage multiple projects simultaneously, set and meet deadlines under pressure, and anticipate operational needs.

Impress Us Even More

• Come with some management experience — in editorial, digital media or a related field — or a demonstrated ability to lead and motivate others, as success in this role will create opportunities to build or contribute to an expanded operations team overseeing production and distribution efforts.
• Talk to us about any work you’ve done managing budgets; liaising with finance or legal departments; or working with independent contractors, temp employees and freelancer pools.
• Include examples of your history of achieving results related to growth and audience expansion.

What We Value

We’re revolutionizing tech recruitment. So we question everything, because the best answers sit just to the right of a question mark. That’s our heritage as a disruptive company — as a company whose future depends on our capacity to innovate with a sense of drive, purpose and urgency. If you join Built In, you will work from this set of values:

• Be Inclusive, Always. We’re committed to a culture where all people are respected, have a say and can be their whole selves. We will uplift and advocate for one another. Always.
• Be Unreasonably Passionate. Our passion is borderline obsessive, and we’re ok with that. No one ever built anything great on a “meh.” We work with outsized passion to fulfill our mission.
• Be Humble. You don’t have all the answers. Luckily, you don’t have to. Don’t worry about being right. Be humble instead. 
• Stay Curious. Curiosity is a springboard to the future. It can transform the wisp of an idea into a breakthrough. We ask “what if.” We work with wonder. It’s how we innovate.
• Lead with Solutions. Question everything. But offer solutions as you do. Raise issues. But propose a few answers. For every hole you poke, offer a way to patch it up. 
• Own the Result. We have no time for blame or shame. When you stumble, own it, learn from it + get back to business. 
• Do More. Do more than your job description. Take initiative. Take charge. No job is beneath you, and no job is too big. Be a leader and do more — do whatever it takes.

Be Inclusive, Always.

Research shows that women and other marginalized groups tend to apply to roles only when they check every point on a job description. We encourage you to apply if you meet the majority of qualifications and this role is aligned with your career trajectory.
