About the Role:

Cantina is looking for a Manager Editor to lead our outbound messaging across content, marketing, and thought leadership to drive user growth, creator adoption, partnerships, recruiting, and fundraising. You’ll own the long-term strategy and day-to-day execution of our content marketing machine, working closely with executives, comms leadership, and our community team.

What You’ll Do:

• Oversee all outbound copywriting across long-form, social, paid, and executive thought leadership.

• Hire, train, and manage Cantina’s editorial team across consumer growth, creator growth, and Labs recruiting.

• Collaborate with executives and comms leadership to build and maintain key marketing messaging.

• Develop brand voices for Cantina’s core social accounts, Labs account, and executives.

• Populate and execute the content calendar across all channels.

• Help Cantina develop its own thriving, platform-native new media property.

• Learn and apply the latest editorial GTM strategies to beat the algorithms and win attention.

• Coordinate content amplification campaigns in collaboration with our community team.

• Seize on narrative opportunities that arise out of news, trends, and X debate.
  

What You’ll Bring:

• Experience managing a multi-person creative or content marketing team.

• Exceptional persuasive writing skills for capturing attention.

• A fast-shipping, non-perfectionist, experimental mindset: you’d rather post five times today and learn what works than spend a week polishing one announcement.

• High taste as a curator, with the ability to quickly sort good content from bad and give clear, direct feedback.

• A voracious appetite for learning the latest channels, algorithmic hacks, and content strategies.

• A data-driven approach, using metrics to iterate on content strategy.

• Chronically online instincts for spotting opportunities for rapid messaging.
  

Bonus Points For:

• Hands-on experience running and everinternal amplification communities.

• Previously a managing editor of a modern media outlet.

• Former mid-to-late stage consumer content marketing team leader.

• A track record founding and growing a solo new media property.
