dex - Founding Editor - Fractional
Requirements
• 2. A call with the hiring manager for the role, we'll share more context for the short and medium objectives in the role and you can expect some deeper questions relative to the role requirements • 3. Most roles involve a practical task - more detail will be shared on the specifics but usually these are completed offline and reviewed by the team. • 4. Onsite interview loop where you'll visit the office, meet a cohort of the team, have an interview centred on the task you produced, another on Dex culture and values, and meet with one of the senior team members or Paddy, our Founder.
Responsibilities
• Own the our voice, editorial calendar and commissioning process. Know what to publish, when, and why. • Commission original work from senior technical voices. Use your existing network to bring in contributors who have real credibility with our audience. • Edit with conviction. Our contributors are strong writers, and your job is to make their work sharper and more aligned, not safer. • Write original work when the moment demands it. • Work closely with the Head of Marketing and Head of Growth to ensure editorial output serves both brand and distribution goals and feeds our amplification strategy. • Hold the line on quality and editorial bar. • You have an engineering background. You have written code professionally and understand the technical and cultural reality of being a senior engineer today • You are a genuinely good editor. You can tell the difference between a piece that is just competent and one that an engineer would forward to a peer they respect. • You have a network. You can pick up the phone or send a DM and get a yes from the people who matter in the engineering world. • You have strong editorial opinions and you will defend them. • You are not looking for a content mill. You want to build something with a real point of view.
Benefits
• We work in an industry with an almost total absence of intelligent, intentional editorial. You'll own our answer to that. You'll build it, with the mandate and the relationships to make it matter from day one. • The fractional structure is intentional. We want someone exceptional who wants an interesting editorial project, not someone who needs a full-time content marketing job. If the work grows, the role grows with it. • Above market salary — we're building a world class team and believe pay should match that ambition • Significant equity — we want this to be the last job you 'have' to take • Full private healthcare & dental — because life happens and we want to support you • Fertility benefits & enhanced parental support • Claude tokens — lots and lots of Claude tokens • Regular socials, offsites and an annual trip • MacBook Pro + team kit • "Whatever you need" approach to tools and support
