[Remote] Head of Content - The Rundown

Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Electrify is a dynamic new digital media company focused on the creator economy, particularly through its channel The Rundown. As Head of Content, you will oversee editorial quality across multiple formats, build and lead a content team, and scale the media ecosystem to enhance engagement with AI-related content.

Responsibilities

• Own editorial quality across all properties: Review and edit the AI, Tech, and Robotics newsletters daily. Give direct, specific feedback to writers — not just line edits, but coaching on structure, angle, and voice
• Enforce brand voice consistency: Ensure social posts, guides, newsletters, takeovers, and show content all sound and look like one publication. Maintain and evolve our voice guidelines as we add formats
• Lead newsletter takeover editorial: Partner with the team to ensure every sponsored takeover meets our editorial standards. Push back on weak sponsor submissions and guide them toward content our audience will actually read
• Scale the media ecosystem: Help us go from three newsletters to a full portfolio — new shows, new formats, repeatable editorial systems, and flywheels that compound across the content ecosystem
• Build and lead the content team: Own the org design for editorial. Decide what roles we need next, when we need them, and what the reporting lines look like as we expand from three newsletters into shows, podcasts, and new formats
• Recruit and hire top editorial talent: Partner with ops to run the editorial hiring pipeline end-to-end — JDs, sourcing, screening, interviews, take-home tests, and close
• Develop and retain the team: Run 1:1s, give hard feedback, set performance expectations, and own onboarding
• Run editorial weekly calls: Lead weekly editorial syncs, track KPIs, surface bottlenecks, and bring new ideas to the CEO on where we should go next
• Coach and develop: Help our broader writing team level up. Give hard feedback with care. Own onboarding and recruiting for new editorial hires
