OVERVIEW
Founder Brew, a new publication dedicated to exploring the real lives, decisions, and psychology of people building companies — from startups to small businesses to creative ventures—is looking for an editor to shape and lead the outlet.
This is both a strategic and hands-on role that will allow you to shape the future of a brand new Morning Brew, Inc. publication. If you like the challenge of setting editorial strategy and helping reporters execute on stories, well, we’ve got the gig for you.
As part of Morning Brew Inc’s business-to-business (B2B) editorial team, Founder Brew sits alongside other professional publications: Marketing Brew, Retail Brew, HR Brew, Healthcare Brew, Revenue Brew, CFO and IT Brew.
Founder Brew will tell the emotional and operational truths of building a business—across startups, small businesses, and “unsexy” real-world companies—so current and aspiring founders feel seen and better equipped to handle what comes their way.
Reporting will be pragmatically optimistic, and divided between two modes: as-told-to, and traditional reporting. We’ll publish the messy middle, resist PR gloss, and verify the facts behind first-person stories.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
-Manage day-to-day operations of the Founder Brew story and newsletter production process, including assigning/approving stories, editing pieces, and writing headlines.
- Manage and coach a team of reporters.
- Generate, develop, and execute ideas for non-newsletter products and other special editorial projects like podcasts and multimedia approaches.
- Write stories if and as needed.
- Uphold Morning Brew Inc.’s editorial guidelines, editing stories for high-level substance, Brew tone and voice, and standard copy.
- Support optimization of existing editorial processes and establish new ones where needed.
- Integrate in-house analyses of audience trends into broader editorial strategy.
WHAT YOU'LL BRING
- Experience reporting on or editing business stories
- At least 8 years of top and line-editing experience.
- Experience managing a team of journalists.
- Ability to write in the Morning Brew Inc’s style (engaging, informative, clever)
- Flexible worker who is equally motivated by strategic, long-term thinking and hands-on execution.
- Ability to intentionally experiment with, iterate on, and make hard decisions about new product offerings.
- Excellent communication skills with a mindset for organization, planning, and collaboration.
- Ability to operate in a high-pressure environment with tight deadlines.

BRIEF BREW HISTORY
Morning Brew Inc. was founded in 2015 by two entrepreneurial college students who noticed their peers were not consuming legacy media resources about business and finance news, but had a high desire to learn about those topics. What started as a small on-campus email has since evolved into a multi-channel media company that operates 20+ unique content franchises. All while maintaining our witty, honest and engaging tone that millions of loyal MBI audience members rely upon daily to better navigate the world.
In 2020 a majority stake in MBI was acquired by Axel Springer SE and in February 2025 that position was increased to full ownership of the business. Axel Springer SE is a family-owned, transatlantic media company headquartered in Berlin and New York that is committed to the values of a free and informed society.
