Senior Editor, CMO

The CMO Club helps marketing leaders build AI-powered systems that drive growth, scale impact, and own revenue.

We provide peer-driven insights, practical frameworks, executive playbooks, and community-powered experiences focused on demand generation, AI-enabled marketing, brand and communications, marketing operations, customer marketing, and modern marketing execution.

Our audience includes CMOs, VPs of marketing, demand generation leaders, brand and communications leaders, marketing operations professionals, and senior marketing practitioners looking for practical insight, trustworthy guidance, and meaningful professional connection.

We are looking for a Senior Editor to help build The CMO Club into a trusted, community-powered media brand for marketing leaders and senior marketing professionals.

This role is responsible for growing loyal, engaged marketing leadership audiences through authoritative, practitioner-led editorial experiences across articles, newsletters, social, video, podcasts, livestreams, events, and strategic partnerships.

This is not a traditional editing role focused only on publishing content. It is an audience growth and editorial leadership role centered on creating serious-fun, decision-support content that helps marketing leaders make better decisions, build demand, adopt AI-powered ways of working, scale marketing systems, and navigate the changing realities of modern marketing leadership.

You will help shape the voice, authority, growth, and audience experience of the brand.

Your work should increase subscriber growth, newsletter engagement, return audience behavior, topical authority, and trust with marketing leaders and senior marketing professionals.

You understand how to create editorial brands that professionals actively trust, return to, and recommend.

You are deeply curious about how engineering, AI, and technology leaders operate, make technical decisions, adopt AI, manage infrastructure, scale organizations, and navigate complexity.

You know how to turn practitioner insight into useful editorial experiences that feel credible, clear, visual, engaging, and worth sharing.

You are not just a writer or editor. You are a builder of audience systems, community loops, and repeat engagement.

You think beyond articles and understand that modern editorial engagement happens across newsletters, video, podcasts, social, community discussions, livestreams, events, partnerships, search, and AI discovery experiences.

You are comfortable experimenting with formats, workflows, packaging, distribution strategies, and audience experiences to improve performance over time.

You care about usefulness, clarity, audience trust, and measurable impact.
