Foundry’s B2B brands have built direct audience relationships through websites, newsletters, events, and community for decades. The mandate now is to accelerate: Grow those audiences significantly, deepen engagement, and make one-to-one audience relationships the dominant revenue driver across the portfolio.  

As Global Editorial Director - B2B, you will own editorial identity and strategy for five globally recognized enterprise brands, lead a team organized by desks and topicality, and operate as a peer to our Editorial Director - Consumer. Each brand leans into its own distinctive voice, while centralized functions across audience development, content operations (SEO/GEO), video, and revenue provide the shared infrastructure behind them all.  This position will be required to be in the office full-time. 

Your job, simply: Make B2B editorial the single most valuable driver of audience growth across the Foundry ecosystem.  

MORE ABOUT YOUR BRANDS  

• CIO, CSO, Computerworld, NetworkWorld— Role-based audiences: IT leaders and professionals defined by their job and decision authority.  

• InfoWorld — Topic-based audience: developers and architects defined by the (AI) platforms and tools they use.  

WHAT YOU’LL DO  

Set editorial strategy  

• Define the voice, positioning, and content strategy for each brand - develop a distinctive identity for each, with all sharing a single operational backbone.  

• Apply the role-based vs. topic-based audience distinction as a governing principle across the portfolio.  

• Treat AI as infrastructure woven through every brand’s coverage, not a standalone beat.  

Build a team of creator-journalists  

• Recruit and develop creator-journalists who combine deep subject matter authority with multi-platform presence - across articles, newsletters, video, social, and event stages.  

• Cultivate individual editorial voices that build subscriber relationships and become trusted names in their fields.  

Grow and deepen the audience  

• Expand the subscriber base and increase engagement across every brand, ensure every editorial surface - article, newsletter, video, event session - feeds the subscriber pool.  

• Keep audiences inside the Foundry media ecosystem: moving readers across brands, into events, and back again rather than losing them to external platforms.  

• Own a composite audience-quality scorecard spanning reach quality, relationship depth, revenue contribution, and platform capital.  

Design content for two worlds  

• Every piece of B2B content should work in two modes: machine-readable for AI and search surfaces (structured, data-rich, and optimized for LLMs) and human-first for trust and community (personality-led, opinionated, relationship-building). Your editorial operation delivers both, every time.  

Integrate across the organization  

• Partner with our Content Operations team on publishing workflows and cross-brand content flow, with Audience Revenue on subscriptions and paywalls, with Video & New Media on distributing content across all platforms, and with Events on editorial-to-event programming.  

• Support commercial strategy without compromising editorial integrity. Manage budgets and resources against the content modellink framework.  

• Represent Foundry’s B2B brands externally - on stage, on panels, across digital channels.  

HOW YOU’LL BE MEASURED  

• Subscriber pool growth per brand (newsletter + registered + paid).  

• Audience quality and engagement depth across all five brands.  

• Anonymous-to-addressable conversion rate on editorial landing pages.  

• Cross-brand and cross-platform audience retention within the Foundry ecosystem.  

• Creator-Journalist audience-building: subscriber growth per byline, engagement per creator.  

• SEO and GEO performance: organic visibility, AI-surface citation rates.  

• Budget and resource management against forecast.  

WHAT YOU BRING  

• 10+ years in editorial leadership in B2B technology, enterprise media, or an adjacent industry.  

• An established network across the enterprise IT world - relationships with CIOs, CTOs, vendors, analysts, and conference organizers you can activate from day one.  

• Track record leading high-performing, globally distributed editorial teams with named-brand authority.  

• Deep understanding of enterprise IT buyers - their roles, their decision journeys, their pain points.  

• Fluency in audience strategy: growing websites, newsletters, community, and events - not just page views and programmatic reach.  

• Experience building or running a creator- or personality-led editorial model.  

• Comfort in a layered organization - leading through influence as much as direct authority, and partnering with shared functions that serve multiple brands.  

• Strong editorial judgement paired with commercial awareness and data literacy.  

Navan is seeking a driven, proactive and experienced Economist to join our growing team. This first-of-its-kind role is an exciting opportunity to shape the research and economic function at Navan, the leading all-in-one business travel, payments, and expense management platform. 

Using data from millions of trips and purchases by 10,000+ companies worldwide, you will build economic indicators that deepen and drive the world’s understanding of global business travel and corporate spend. You will use these indicators to advance Navan’s position as a global authority on business travel and expense.

This position requires a self-starter with a proven track record in complex economic analyses and excellent storytelling.

What You’ll Do:

• As part of our broader Data Science and Analytics function, you will… 

  • Perform complex econometric and statistical analysis on travel and spending patterns to identify emerging macroeconomic trends, forecast future business activity, and understand the drivers of corporate travel and expense.
  • Craft compelling data-driven stories and insights for multiple channels—including press releases, blog posts, white papers, and executive keynotes—to illustrate why business travel and spend are critical leading indicators for the global economy.
  • Partner with our Marketing and Comms teams to serve as an internal expert and external spokesperson, presenting your findings to journalists, industry analysts, and at major economic and travel conferences.
  • Continuously monitor the global economic landscape, linking external events (e.g., policy changes, supply chain disruptions, market volatility) to the proprietary trends you observe in Navan's data.
  • Serve as a key economic advisor to leadership and strategy teams, translating your macro findings into concise, high-level briefings on risks, opportunities, and the business's competitive positioning.

What We’re Looking For:

• We are looking for a "full-stack" economist who is as comfortable with complex econometrics as they are with presenting to an executive or a journalist. This means:

  • 5-7 years experience with an advanced degree in Economics, Statistics, Data Science, or a related quantitative field.
  • Deep expertise in econometrics, forecasting, and statistical analysis, with experience modeling complex, "messy" datasets.
  • Required proficiency in SQL, a statistical language (Python or R), and common data visualization tools.
  • Excellent writing and presentation skills translating complex economic findings with simplicity and clarity for executives, media, and the public. We’d love to see examples of previous writing, presentations and data visualizations. 
  • Voracious consumer of business news. Bonus points if you have previously established yourself as a voice on business, economics or data on e.g. Substack or X.
  • A collaborative and approachable style, with a proven ability to build relationships and manage priorities with cross-functional teams.
  • A practical, business-first mindset focused on driving real business results and supporting decisions, not just academic theory.

The Role

As our Head of Communications, you’ll shape how Gigs shows up. We are the first in our category and our ambition is to build a beloved brand. In partnership with Gigs’ leadership, marketing, people, and product teams, you will design and execute a communications strategy that builds our reputation, attracts enterprise customers, and top talent. 

Gigs is at a unique inflection point and we have lots of stories to tell. The ideal candidate combines exceptional strategic storytelling skills with strong execution to turn these stories into headlines. 

The role is based in either one of our US Hubs (San Francisco or New York). 

What you’ll do

• Build our communications function: Run a communications function that catalyzes Gigs’ growth and brand ambitions.
• Shape and evolve Gigs company narrative: Working closely with internal teams, partners, and customers, you will lead the messaging work that defines how Gigs is perceived.
• Establish Gigs’ executive positioning: Elevate the profiles of Gigs founders and executive team through securing speaking slots, podcast appearances, and media opportunities. 
• Run media and analyst relations: Own and expand our journalist, analyst, and influencer relationships in the US and beyond.
• Proactively source stories: You’ll always be on the lookout for the next announcements, sourcing opportunities across internal and external stakeholders.

What We Are Looking For

• Deep communications and media relations expertise: 10+ years of experience running communications for high-growth tech companies or top-tier agencies. 
• US media insider: You hold strong connections with top US tech and business media: these are just one ping away for you and have an extensive track record of securing impactful coverage. 
• Brand builder: You understand what great looks like when establishing a brand from scratch. Ideally, you have defined narratives for new categories before.
• Execution oriented: You have a strong execution mindset and are comfortable delivering under tight deadlines, remain calm under pressure, and know how to prioritize.
• Trusted advisor: You’re a calming presence, great listener, and comfortable providing honest guidance on topics within your field: also when selling a “no” or providing alternative options. 

About this role

You will own Symbolica’s external narrative end to end, with a bias toward shipping: clear messaging, crisp writing, and a steady drumbeat of visibility that makes Agentica unavoidable in the right circles. You will translate research into product relevance, turn product reality into market pull, and build a repeatable comms and marketing engine that earns high-quality media and conference presence for our brand and CEO while also driving adoption through customer-facing channels. This is a hands-on role based onsite, designed for someone who has operated inside a real tech company and knows how to move fast without sounding like a campaign or agency.

📍 This is an onsite role based in our San Francisco office (345 California St).

Your focus

• Own Symbolica’s positioning and messaging across every surface area: website, product, docs, blogs, emails, decks, social, partner materials, and founder narratives, collaborating closely with our Brand and Design Lead
• Build and run launch and ongoing programs that create sustained awareness and adoption: announcements, blogs, content series, community and developer campaigns, partner pushes, and moment-making.
• Lead PR and earned media: manage journalist relationships, drive a consistent cadence of high-quality interviews, speaking opportunities, and features, and ensure every story lands with precision.
• Build our executive’s external presence: speaker strategy, pipeline, event targeting, talk abstracts, support, and amplification to convert attention into inbound.
• Run customer-facing comms ops: product announcements, lifecycle emails, newsroom updates, website refresh cadence, and narrative consistency across all customer touchpoints.

About you

• You have shipped marketing and comms inside a high-performing tech company, ideally developer or infrastructure adjacent, and you can show work that changed outcomes.
• You are an exceptional writer and editor who can sound technical without being dense, and who can create crisp narrative frameworks that other teams can actually use.
• You have strong PR instincts and operator chops: you can build a media plan, manage relationships, pitch effectively, and turn coverage into a compounding program.
• You have taste and judgment: you know what is credible, what is hype, what is premature, and how to make ambitious work feel inevitable without overclaiming.
• You are low ego, high ownership, fast, and calm under pressure. You collaborate tightly with founders, push for clarity, and handle sensitive narrative decisions with discretion.

We offer competitive compensation, including an attractive equity package, with salary and equity levels aligned to your experience and expertise.
