Editor in Chief
Job description
About the role
The Challenge
America faces a landscape of intertwined crises. From the classroom to the boardroom, from fractured communities to a polarized public square, the status quo fails millions. Solving these deep-rooted issues demands more than good intentions; it requires a coordinated, strategic, and resourceful approach. Stand Together exists to meet this demand. We are a philanthropic community dedicated to identifying and dismantling the structural barriers that prevent progress across our nation's most critical sectors.
Our Mission and Method
We operate as a multibrand, mission-driven platform. Our work spans issue-focused initiatives, partner organizations, and cultural programs that intersect media, education, business, community, government, and the worlds of music, sports, and entertainment. This scope requires a unified voice grounded in shared principles and narratives. Our goal is to transform lives and society by applying proven frameworks that drive measurable change. This is not an abstract exercise; it is a practical playbook for progress.
The Editorial Imperative
The role of Editor in Chief is the keystone of our editorial architecture. You will architect a narrative system that gives coherence to our diverse portfolio. Your primary mission is to design and deploy innovative storytelling that amplifies our partners and advances our goals. This position is about far more than publishing articles. It is about building a comprehensive editorial function from the ground up.
You will surface stories hidden within our vast ecosystem of partners. By applying journalistic rigor and strategic communication, you will convert these discoveries into coordinated campaigns. These campaigns must resonate with distinct audiences while reinforcing our collective mission. A core component of this role involves mastering the use of AI to augment human creativity. The goal is to accelerate production, personalize content at scale, and build a sustainable engine for excellence.
A significant portion of this responsibility centers on resource generation. You will be the architect of our fundraising narrative. This means translating complex concepts like impact, mission, and long-term vision into powerful, persuasive stories. Your work will inspire investors, partners, and stakeholders to commit to our vision.
Day-to-Day Execution
You will establish the intake systems that capture strategic partner needs. This ensures every initiative begins with a solid foundation of context and purpose. You will then architect the production frameworks that blend human insight with technological capability. This fusion is essential for maintaining both speed and quality.
You will oversee rigorous review cycles. These processes will safeguard our narrative standards, ensure brand consistency, and maintain legal clarity. You will also manage the cadence of our publishing schedule. This includes orchestrating rapid response for urgent moments and developing long-form narratives that drive deep engagement and transformation.
Creating and distributing partner playbooks is a central duty. These guides will empower collaborators to apply our principles effectively. You will also act as a scout, constantly monitoring the evolving landscape. Your role is to identify emerging trends and convert them into timely, relevant campaigns.
Core Requirements
This position demands a leader with a proven track record. You must bring a minimum of five years of experience shaping editorial direction in complex, high-stakes environments. You are a master storyteller who moves seamlessly between hard news, analytical commentary, and persuasive advocacy.
You possess a rare ability to distill complex issues into coherent, audience-focused messages. You understand how to apply strategic principles to turn abstract concepts into actionable narratives. Proficiency with AI tools is not optional; it is a core requirement for maximizing efficiency and impact.
Above all, you are a guardian of integrity. You commit to the highest standards of accuracy, clarity, and transparency in every piece you oversee.
