Editorial Director / Content Lead
Own the whole content operation
Run the editorial engine of a brand, a publisher or a platform: the voice, the calendar, the standards, the team of writers. It is the management version of what you do, with a journalist's sense of audience and rhythm. A natural home for a senior writer who likes to build and lead.

Communication & PRThe gap
Editorial leadership at scale: commissioning and editing others rather than rewriting them, running a publishing calendar, and owning quality and metrics across a stream of content.
How to get there
- Take editorial ownership of one channel (a client's blog, a newsletter, your agency's own voice) and run it like a small masthead.
- Practise editing other people's work to a standard, instead of rewriting it.
- Learn the content-ops stack: calendars, briefs, SEO, simple analytics.
Your first move
Start or adopt one newsletter or channel and edit it to a real standard for a quarter.
In Stockholm
Brand newsrooms and content studios sit inside Stockholm's larger brands and media houses (Bonnier, Schibsted, Acast, Spotify). Content-lead titles are increasingly in-house.
