## About Perplexity

Perplexity LLC is an Executive Coaching firm for SME

## About the role

Perplexity is seeking a Senior Editor to lead the quality and velocity of everything we publish. Our content spans a range of audiences, channels, and objectives. You will set the editorial bar for excellence and make every writer around you measurably better.

If you treat a clunky sentence and a sprawling launch narrative as the same kind of craft, take pride in language without being precious about deadlines, and want to build a world-class editorial function from the ground up, this role is for you.

Responsibilities

- Own editorial quality end to end.

- Reject mediocrity.

- Demand clarity. Ensure accuracy.

- Be Perplexity. Evolve and enforce our voice. Everything we ship should sound like we shipped it.

- Be accountable. Hold objective authority in a sea of subjective opinions.

- Plan and manage the editorial calendar. Run prioritization and production for a fast-moving pipeline in a high-growth environment.

- Edit at every level. Player-coach plus team owner and stadium sponsor. Move fluidly from high-level editorial vision to developmental editing to line-level copy editing. Deliver feedback that makes the writing and the writer better.

- Mentor, elevate, and attract excellent writers. Earn the respect of strong writers by making them stronger.

- Make sense of things. Make sense to people.

- Build the editorial system. Evolve and own the style guides and workflows.

- Work productively across the company. Everyone wants content, and you’re the content.Qualifications

- 7+ years in editing, writing, or editorial leadership, with a body of published or edited work that demonstrates exceptional command of language.

- High flexibility of tone and mind. You must be able to demonstrate an ability to adapt styles and voices for different channels or audiences.

- High competence throughout the editorial stack: developmental editing, copy editing, content planning, and managing production.

- A demonstrated track record of mentoring writers and improving the quality of a team's output, not just your own.

- Exceptional ability to learn.

- Refined judgment on all matters of structure, argument, and voice

- A proven eye for narrative in messy, ambiguous, or highly technical material.

- Deep familiarity with the rules of grammar, style, and storytelling.

- Enough experience in the bullet above that you have a clear perspective on which rules you intend to break and when.

- Comfort using AI tools and the ability to articulate exactly where and how you incorporate them into your workflows.

- A passion for the truth well-told.
