Managing Editor/Copywriter

The Managing Editor plays a central role in leading and elevating content operations that support our agency's and portfolio of discerning, accomplished clients.

Strategy & Scope:

Agency-side:

• Act as the editorial anchor for the agency's content engine — working across brand strategy, storytelling, publication channels, and client deliverables.
• Collaborate closely with leadership (Web Development, Creative Design, Account Management) to define and scale the services menu: newsletter development, social content, thought leadership amplification, ghost-writing, book authorship.
• Ensure that content created for clients aligns with their "ownable message" and the agency's methodology (distinct experience + expertise + purpose).
• Drive continuous process improvement — identify bottlenecks, implement editorial workflows, monitor metrics to maintain quality, speed, and scalability.
• Support growth of the client roster and services while safeguarding editorial excellence and brand integrity.
  ‍

Graviten-side:

• Drive editorial strategy across Graviten's product ecosystem — newsletter builders, AI post generation, portal site content defaults, and lifecycle-based resource libraries.
• Translate complex brand strategy, marketing best practices, and sales psychology into user-friendly, pre-built content experiences that feel personalized and scale.
• Support the creation of modular content templates aligned to stage-based journeys, enabling high-performing professionals to show up with credibility and consistency.
• Ensure all content reflects Graviten's brand voice: empowering, enterprise-credible, and conversion-aware.
