Head of Content | AI & Emerging Technology Media in Bolton

Build the editorial voice of one of the world's fastest-growing AI media platforms. We're partnering with a well-funded, rapidly scaling digital media business that sits at the forefront of artificial intelligence, emerging technology and creator-led publishing. Already reaching millions of highly engaged technology professionals, founders, investors and AI practitioners every day, the business has ambitious plans to evolve from a successful editorial platform into a global, multi-format AI media brand spanning newsletters, video, podcasts, social, research and original programming. This is a rare opportunity to define the editorial direction of an organisation shaping how the world consumes AI news.

The Opportunity:

• You'll become the senior editorial leader responsible for setting and continuously raising the editorial standard across every content format.
• More than managing writers, you'll build an editorial organisation capable of becoming the benchmark for AI journalism.
• Own the editorial vision across newsletters, website, social platforms, video, podcasts and future content formats.
• Lead a high-performing editorial team, recruiting and developing exceptional writers, editors, producers and AI-native journalists.
• Shape the voice of a globally recognised publication, ensuring consistency, authority and originality across every touchpoint.
• Launch new editorial products, franchises and repeatable content formats that compound audience growth.
• Partner directly with executive leadership to influence editorial strategy, audience development and long-term business growth.
• Develop world-class editorial processes that combine outstanding journalism with AI-enabled workflows.
• Coach experienced journalists, providing meaningful editorial direction rather than simple copy editing.
• Build a culture centred around speed, accuracy, curiosity and editorial excellence.

We're looking for someone who...

• Is an accomplished Editor-in-Chief, Managing Editor, Executive Editor or Editorial Director within technology, business or digital media.
• Has worked for respected editorial brands covering technology, AI, innovation or digital culture.
• Is genuinely AI-native, using leading AI tools to enhance research, workflow and editorial productivity without compromising quality.
• Understands the difference between breaking news, genuine insight and industry hype.
• Has exceptional editorial judgement and can elevate a story within minutes.
• Combines strategic leadership with a willingness to remain close to the content.
• Is excited by building, not simply maintaining, an established publication.

Why this role stands apart

This isn't another editorial management position. You'll help build what could become the defining AI media brand of the next decade, influencing how millions of professionals understand artificial intelligence and emerging technology. You'll enjoy genuine autonomy, direct exposure to senior leadership, significant scope to shape the business and the opportunity to build a best-in-class editorial function from the ground up.
