Managing Editor

As Managing Editor at Cantina, you lead all outbound messaging across content, marketing, and thought leadership to drive user growth, creator adoption, partnerships, recruiting, and fundraising. You own the long-term strategy and day-to-day execution of the content marketing machine, working closely with executives, comms leadership, and the community team.

What you'll do

• Oversee all outbound copywriting across long-form, social, paid, and executive thought leadership

• Collaborate with executives and comms leadership to build and maintain key marketing messaging
• Develop brand voices for Cantina's core social accounts, Labs account, and executives

• Learn and apply the latest editorial go-to-market strategies to beat the algorithms and win attention

• Seize on narrative opportunities that arise out of news, trends, and X debate

What you bring

• A data-driven approach, using metrics to iterate on content strategy
