Editorial Director
The editorial director is an executive who works with other executives to plan the overarching vision that encompasses all of the company's publications. The director conveys this information to the editors of each publication, site, or division. Sometimes the editorial director also sets policies such as submission guidelines or editorial style.
What they love about their jobs
Creative professionals talk about their favorite parts of their day.
“Working at a non-profit means I am a one-woman video crew, editing team, content creator, website designer, photographer, and more.”
“I love hearing our clients' stories to better understand what they're doing and what they need.”
“I get to leave a positive impact in the world, and we get paid to be creative, what’s not to love!”
“Like Kintsugi, a Japanese art form of repairing pottery pieces. My work is all about repairing, getting around the constraint, and working with the limitations.”
