About the Role:
Cantina is looking for a Managing Editor to lead our outbound messaging across content, marketing, and thought leadership to drive user growth, creator adoption, partnerships, recruiting, and fundraising. You’ll own the long-term strategy and day-to-day execution of our content marketing machine, working closely with executives, comms leadership, and our community team.
What You’ll Do:
- Oversee all outbound copywriting across long-form, social, paid, and executive thought leadership.
- Hire, train, and manage Cantina’s editorial team across consumer growth, creator growth, and Labs recruiting.
- 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.
- Populate and execute the content calendar across all channels.
- Help Cantina develop its own thriving, platform-native new media property.
- Learn and apply the latest editorial GTM strategies to beat the algorithms and win attention.
- Coordinate content amplification campaigns in collaboration with our community team.
- Seize on narrative opportunities that arise out of news, trends, and X debate.
What You’ll Bring:
- Experience managing a multi-person creative or content marketing team.
- Exceptional persuasive writing skills for capturing attention.
- A fast-shipping, non-perfectionist, experimental mindset: you’d rather post five times today and learn what works than spend a week polishing one announcement.
- High taste as a curator, with the ability to quickly sort good content from bad and give clear, direct feedback.
- A voracious appetite for learning the latest channels, algorithmic hacks, and content strategies.
- A data-driven approach, using metrics to iterate on content strategy.
- Chronically online instincts for spotting opportunities for rapid messaging.
Bonus Points For:
- Hands-on experience organizing internal communities to amplify content.
- Previously a managing editor of a modern media outlet.
- Former mid-to-late stage consumer content marketing team leader.
- A track record founding and growing a solo new media property.

About this listing
Published on Ashby under the board identifier Cantina, which is the name the employer’s own job board carries. RoleSprint has not verified the company’s registered or trading name, so it is shown exactly as published rather than tidied up.
RoleSprint is not the employer and not a recruiter. Applications are made on the employer’s own site and never reach us; what RoleSprint does is help you decide whether a role is worth your time and prepare for it if it is.
