Firm Enterprise Solutions Director, Content Strategy and Editorial

Executive Editor, US, Deloitte Insights

Deloitte Services LP is seeking an executive editor to join Deloitte Insights, Deloitte's publishing imprint for business research and insights.

The executive editor will report to and partner with the global editor in chief to oversee content development, quality, and value.

Deloitte Insights is a resource to current and future business/organizational leaders across industries and geographies, offering them the data, analysis, and ideas they need to develop and implement their strategic agendas.

We publish 400+ thought leadership pieces annually, from articles and research reports, to infographics, dashboards, and videos.

Our aim is to ensure that Deloitte Insights' thought leadership connects with what target audiences care about and need to know, and offers them new ideas, relevant data, and actionable insights.

That said, the executive editor will need to know and stay up to speed on what's new and noteworthy to our target audiences, and be able to use audience insights to make data-driven story decisions.

The executive editor is both a strategic leader and a hands-on editor who can coach others, sharpen ideas, improve storytelling, and help Deloitte authors and stakeholders communicate with clarity, rigor, and impact.

You'll need to be a true-blue editor, with deep experience dissecting and reassembling stories to make them shine, someone who both excels at strategic storytelling and can apply AP style in their sleep-someone who knows the rules but also has the nuanced editorial skills to know how, when, and why to break them.

In this role, you'll need to know when a draft is fine as is and when (and how) to attack a draft and distill it to its essence.

And you'll need to be an expert coach.

The executive editor will be leading and collaborating with editors to help them improve their work-and also with subject matter experts (researchers and business partners) who may or may not be adept writers in their own right.

This requires strong stakeholder management skills and influence to ensure that editors learn from you in each collaboration, and authors see the logic and value of your suggested edits.

The ideal candidate will have deep journalistic experience; a passion for accuracy, clarity, and compelling storytelling; and a demonstrated ability to ...
