How do you take raw ideas, cultural observations, and strong points of view and turn them into writing that travels? How do you build an editorial engine for an institution without flattening its thinking into generic internet content?

These are some of the challenges you’ll work on as Content & Editorial Lead at Designer Babe.

You’ll sit close to the centre of the institution, building the system around our publications, essays, research, stories, and cultural documentation so they reach the people they are meant for. You’ll bring editorial discipline to complex ideas, shape how our thinking is distributed across mediums, and build the living archive of an expanding creative institution.

Here’s how you’ll contribute

• Own the editorial calendar, publishing cadence, and distribution across Designer Babe’s platforms, newsletters, and social channels

• Turn raw concepts, voice notes, conversations, and event transcripts into sharp, publication-ready writing while fiercely protecting the original voice

• Translate long-form essays and complex cultural observations into compelling social formats without cheapening or diluting the underlying idea

• Build editorial workflows and publishing systems that keep production moving consistently across contributors, photographers, and designers

• Identify cultural shifts, people, texts, and emerging dialogues worth bringing into the Designer Babe universe

• Archive and curate the ideas, essays, and milestones that document this era of the institution

• Understand resonance, distribution, and reach without allowing algorithm chasing to dictate taste or editorial integrity

This role will give you the opportunity to

• Help architect the public intellectual footprint of an ambitious creative institution

• Work at the intersection of design, culture, literature, technology, and community

• Edit, publish, and distribute work that challenges standard corporate creative tropes

• Work closely with the founder and hold meaningful ownership over how ideas are articulated and preserved

About you

• You have significant experience in editorial direction, long-form writing, publishing, or cultural journalism, ideally within a creative publication, studio, or high-taste brand

• You possess uncompromising editorial judgement of something that is merely polished and something that is genuinely compelling

• You understand cadence, rhythm, tone, and restraint in modern prose

• You can move effortlessly between shaping a newsletter hook, drafting a social narrative, and cataloguing an archive piece

• You are comfortable bringing structure to abstract thoughts and working with visionaries whose ideas move quickly

• You view content not as marketing decoration around the work, but as how an institution thinks out loud
