Managing Editor

Posted 14 days ago

At GrowthX, we've redefined what AI-powered growth means for modern marketing teams. Since launching in 2024, we've grown from concept to eight-figure annual revenue. To date, we've raised a $12M Series A led by Madrona Venture Group and we partner with 50+ companies ranging from high-growth startups to industry leaders like Surge AI, Loveable, Webflow, Ramp, Superhuman, Strapi, Abnormal Security, and Homebase.

We've built something different—what we call "service-as-software." Instead of handing you tools and leaving you to figure them out, we deliver complete outcomes. Our platform combines sophisticated AI workflows with expert human oversight to create, distribute, and optimize content that drives real business results.

Our philosophy is simple: AI should serve experts, not replace them. We're not just building software. We're building the growth infrastructure that marketing teams wish they'd always had.

The role:

We're looking for an exceptional Managing Editor with strong organizational skills to own content production operations using GrowthX Pipelines. You'll produce content end-to-end, evaluate and improve workflows, and ensure every deliverable meets our quality bar before it ships.

You'll partner closely with Directors and Account Strategists who own client relationships and set priorities, then execute flawlessly to deliver client-ready content on schedule.

Your editorial judgment is paramount. While you'll leverage powerful AI workflows to produce content, your value lies in your ability to edit, rewrite, and polish content to a high bar of quality.

You understand how AI works and will help shape our systems to get closer to 100% perfect outputs with each iteration, consistently reducing work for yourself and others by articulating improvements that make the GrowthX product better.

For this role, we ask that you’re available Monday to Friday, from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM PST.

What You'll Do

Shape assignments from strategy into detailed briefs that AI can execute with structure, research, angle, keywords, and CTAs. Making them clear enough that outputs need minimal editing and connect to outcomes customers care about.
Execute content production through AI pipelines: manage inputs, context, and artifacts for each workflow and review research outputs before content generation. Own content creation from draft through to published state.
Maintain the quality bar by ensuring everything published exceeds customer standards, catching issues before customers see them, maintaining brand voice and accuracy, and knowing when to ship and when to refine.
Analyze content performance to identify what's actually driving results, spot patterns in what works, recommend doubling down on winners, and feed insights back to Account Strategists.
Shape the design of AI workflows to produce better outputs over time by refining context, suggesting changes to improve quality, documenting what works and what doesn't, and pushing systems closer to 100% perfect outputs.
Identify automation opportunities in existing content processes and implement solutions that eliminate manual work and increase efficiency.
Collaborate with Account Strategists and team members to implement workflow solutions that meet specific client needs and content requirements.

What We're Looking For

Editorial taste and judgment: You know what good content looks like, can tell when something will work for an audience, have a quality bar you enforce, and know the difference between perfect and good enough.
Obsessed with what actually works: You watch performance, notice patterns, see which topics and formats drive results, understand SEO and AEO deeply, and connect the dots that move the needle for brand visibility and organic growth.
Speed without sacrificing quality: You know which details matter, batch similar work, use systems and templates, and don't waste time on things that don't impact the reader or results.
Deep understanding of how AI works: Not just "I use ChatGPT." You understand prompts, context windows, artifacts, input shaping, when AI will struggle vs. excel, and you're obsessed with making AI better through better inputs and workflows.
Systems thinker: You don't just fix individual outputs. You look for patterns, figure out what's causing consistent issues, improve the inputs and document what works so it compounds.
Obsessed with the details that matter: You catch things others miss, ensure accuracy and brand consistency, but you're pragmatic about what deserves attention.
Care about outcomes, not just outputs: You want content that drives results for customers and understand that technically perfect content that doesn't perform is still a failure.
Experience with SEO tools and platforms (Ahrefs, SEMrush, Google Analytics, Search Console) including hands-on keyword research and on-page optimization.
Analytical mindset with proven ability to identify process inefficiencies, diagnose root causes, and implement practical solutions.

Nice To Have

Experience with content management systems (WordPress, Webflow, etc.) and publishing platforms.
Background in content operations or editorial workflow management.
Familiarity with project management tools (Asana, Linear, ClickUp).
