The team consists of editors and writers who identify the stories we want to tell and conceptualize the best ways for them to be told—working in partnership with our creative and visual teams, digital specialists, and a network of external contributors—and then manage the creation of that content from start to finish, ensuring that our editorial meets the highest standards of excellence and boldly challenges convention.
• *Job Summary:**
The Executive Editor of Multi-Platform Content leads a team of versatile content creators who work fluidly across the full spectrum of National Geographic’s core topic areas from the planet’s ecosystems, geographies, and cultures to outer space; a variety of content types, from social video to shortform reported pieces to literary features to complex multimedia content packages; and audiences globally, from kids to adults. Managing a large team of in-house editors and writers, as well as a network of world-class contributors, you will lead story development and execution, actively defining and shaping our coverage and establishing our editorial identity through the content we make and publish across all platforms. You will join the brand at a pivotal moment as we build on Nat Geo’s 134-year legacy and drive new approaches to how we conceive, create, and distribute content, to both satisfy loyal audiences and reach new ones in ever more compelling ways. Reporting to National Geographic’s Editor in Chief, you will be a key member of the leadership team, and a strong advocate for a modern, forward-looking approach to how we approach our work.
