Sub Editor

This role is for the sister organization of Empor Marcom.

Role: Sub Editor Tech & Business Journalism

Were looking for a smart, sharp, and versatile Sub Editor who thrives at the intersection of business and technology. Someone who can switch between long-form editing and crisp social copy, manage the content CMS, and interview CXOs on camera and off. This is not a desk-bound job. It’s an editorial ownership

Your Responsibilities:

Editing & Story Crafting

• Edit news, interviews, and features for grammar, clarity, tone, and structure.
• Sharpen intros, fact-check claims, restructure weak narratives, and align content to house style.
• Write SEO-rich headlines, subheads, summaries, and metadata.
• Uphold high standards of accuracy, originality, and ethical journalism.

Interviewing & Thought Leader Content

• Conduct interviews (text + video) with CIOs, entrepreneurs, and industry leaders.
• Frame sharp questions, build narratives, and convert raw inputs into compelling content.
• Coordinate with the design and video teams to package stories into multi-format editorial products.

CMS & Publishing Oversight

• Upload and manage content in WordPress — ensuring metadata, tags, formatting, and links are optimized.
• Maintain and update editorial calendars across both platforms.
• Ensure content goes live with speed, accuracy, and editorial polish.

Collaboration & Contributor Management

• Liaise with freelance writers, guest columnists, and expert contributors.
• Guide them on briefs, polish their drafts, and ensure final publish quality.
• Coordinate with marketing, design, research, and leadership teams for story rollout.

Trends & Ideation

• Stay updated on MSME developments, tech disruptions, policy changes, and enterprise leadership trends.
• Propose fresh story formats — explainers, listicles, playbooks, carousel decks, and micro-content.
• Help build editorial IPs that can be scaled.

What We’re Looking For

• 3–6 years of editorial experience in a digital newsroom, business magazine, or B2B publication.
• Proven ability to edit and restructure copy with clarity and confidence.
• Experience in conducting CXO interviews (or willingness to quickly learn and lead).
• Familiarity with enterprise tech (AI, cloud, digital transformation) or MSME/startup ecosystem.
• Strong understanding of SEO, digital publishing tools (WordPress), and editorial best practices.
• Comfort with multitasking, deadlines, and cross-functional collaboration.
• Bonus: Ability to work with Canva or basic image tools; interest in data visualization.

What You’ll Gain

• Editorial ownership in India’s most exciting B2B media ecosystem.
• A front-row seat to conversations shaping India’s business and tech future.
• Cross-platform visibility — from MSMEs to CIOs, from long-form to video storytelling.
• A highly collaborative, flexible work environment that rewards initiative, creativity, and voice.
• A chance to grow beyond sub-editing into strategic editorial leadership.
