Stand Together is a philanthropic community that helps America’s boldest changemakers tackle the root causes of our country’s biggest problems, from education to the economy, broken communities, and toxic division, among dozens of other pressing issues. We provide our partners with access to resources including funding, thought leadership, a network of peers, and a playbook for applying proven principles to transform lives and society.

Stand Together operates as a multibrand, mission‑driven platform, spanning issue‑focused initiatives, partner organizations, and cultural programs across media, education, business, community, government and music, sports, and entertainment. Our editorial work must flex across distinct brands and audiences while remaining unified by shared principles, narratives, and standards.

As Editor in Chief, you’ll shape how Stand Together tells its story across this diverse portfolio through innovative storytelling, rapid response, and principled messaging tailored to key audiences. This role goes beyond publishing content. You’ll build an editorial capability from the ground up, crafting narratives that matter, surfacing stories from partners across the ecosystem, and transforming them into campaigns that drive social change. You’ll lead a forward‑thinking team that blends journalistic excellence with AI‑powered tools to accelerate output, personalize at scale, and create an editorial engine that serves as a true center of excellence, aligning teams, brands, and platforms around a shared worldview and clear priorities. Fundraising and development editorial is a significant part of this role, requiring a leader who can translate mission, impact, and strategy into compelling narratives that drive investment, partnership, and long‑term growth.

Drive and evolve Stand Together’s editorial strategy, ensuring every narrative aligns with business priorities and core messaging.

Create and champion principles‑based messaging guides that help fuel social change.

Act as both strategist and hands‑on creator—shaping the vision while writing, editing, and publishing standout content.

Build and refine editorial standards and playbooks that unify the Stand Together voice across owned, earned, and social channels.

Lead editorial strategy across a multibrand portfolio, partnering with issue‑area leaders to ensure consistency, quality, and narrative coherence, without flattening distinct voices or missions.

Translate complex, often‑intersecting issue areas into clear, compelling narratives, including education, the economy, health care, free speech, constitutionally limited government, and strong & safe communities.

Surface, shape, and package powerful stories across culture, music, sports, entertainment, and social impact.

Partner with Communications on rapid‑response storytelling that converts solutions into cultural momentum.

Produce multi‑format content—web, video, newsletters, social, fundraising materials, partner collateral, pitch decks, investment overviews, and sales enablement assets—tailored to funders, partners, social entrepreneurs, and consumer audiences.

Integrate AI tools to streamline editorial workflows, speed production, and unlock new creative approaches.

Collaborate with Analytics to optimize content placement, performance, and impact, while working with external partners to amplify reach.

Lead, mentor, and inspire a core editorial team, effectively scaling impact through contractors, freelancers, and agencies.

Partner closely with Communications, Marketing, and executives to align strategy, messaging, and storytelling across the organization.

Define and drive OKRs focused on reach, resonance, and reputational impact—and consistently elevate the standard.

Develop centralized knowledge and content systems that increase consistency, access, and operational efficiency.

Streamline copy‑approval workflows to improve clarity, speed, and collaboration.

15+ years leading editorial teams in high‑level journalism, policy-driven organizations and/or globally recognized brands, and 10+ years managing large, diverse teams.

Enthusiasm to contribute to Stand Together's vision and principled approach to solving problems, and a commitment to stewarding our culture, which champions values including transformation and innovation, entrepreneurialism, humility, and respect.

Proven experience leading the development of sales enablement tools such as messaging guides, strategy guides, one pagers, pitch decks, investment overviews, and collateral.

A leadership style that elevates people, inspires bold ideas, and embraces transformation.

Exceptional editing, writing, coaching, and storytelling skills.

Experience introducing and scaling new AI tools within content or editorial environments.

Strong ability to work across communications, marketing, digital, policy, and legal teams.
