Editorial Director

EDITORIAL DIRECTOR – WELLTH

Wellth is Hue's longform editorial brand covering culture, leadership, wellbeing, and innovation — centering marketing and advertising professionals, founders, and operators from the rising majority. No other publication serves this specific reader. We're looking for a Fractional Editorial Director to source and manage contributors, own the editorial calendar, and handle the day-to-day execution. You'll work closely with the founder on editorial direction. This is a role for someone who already knows how to do the job.

WHAT YOU’LL OWN

• Source and pitch credentialed contributors — marketing leaders, strategists, founders, operators, and cultural thinkers who have something real to say
• Build and maintain a forward-looking editorial calendar with articles across categories and topic areas
• Manage contributor relationships from pitch to published piece
• Edit and shape submitted articles to meet Wellth's editorial standards
• Ensure the calendar never slips — in a focused publication, every piece counts
• Collaborate with the founder on editorial direction and big-picture strategy

WHAT WE REQUIRE

• 4+ years of editorial experience at a digital publication, media brand, or content studio
• Proven ability to source and secure contributors — especially professionals, founders, and executives, not just writers
• Strong editor with a sharp eye for voice, relevance, and cultural nuance
• Deeply fluent in marketing, advertising, and the professional landscape for people from underserved backgrounds
• Highly organized and deadline-driven — you build systems that don't rely on reminders from anyone else
• Comfortable operating with a high degree of autonomy

NICE TO HAVE

• An existing network of marketing, communications, strategy, or founder community who could contribute
• Experience building a contributor pipeline from scratch
• Familiarity with digital publishing tools and newsletter platforms

ENGAGEMENT DETAILS

• Freelance / contract
• Fully remote and async-friendly
• Rate: $55–75/hr depending on experience
