Programming & Editorial Manager

WEKA

About The Position

AI's ambitions keep outpacing the infrastructure and economics underneath it. WEKA exists to close that gap. The WEKA® NeuralMesh™ software platform gives enterprises, AI cloud providers, research teams, and frontier AI builders a unified foundation for AI training, inference, and agentic workloads, purpose-built for the inference economy. A growth-stage company backed by world-class investors, WEKA holds more than 170 patents and is trusted by the world's most ambitious AI builders and innovators. We're accountable, brave, collaborative, and customer-centric. These core values define how we work and win together. If we sound like your kind of people, join us! About The Role The most interesting story in technology right now is the one WEKA is helping to write: what actually happens to infrastructure when AI stops being a demo and starts being an economy. We have the engineers, the customers, and the research to tell those stories. We need a strategist who turns them into programming: real work, shipped every week, on channels we own. WEKA is seeking an Programming & Editorial Manager to run the content engine that sits inside our digital team, which owns strategy, programming, distribution, and performance across WEKA's owned channels: the website, YouTube, our LinkedIn presence and newsletters, the Deep Geeks podcast, and other online communities where WEKA plays. Your job is to keep those channels healthy and growing, help to build audience and engagement, and drive the downstream performance we count on. The operation is already up and running, and it's ready for someone to take it further. In this role, you will be the content strategist and producer behind the programming, not a copy desk. The best stories here live in the heads of our engineers and customers, and your job is to bring them out: find the angle, shape the piece through the writers you direct, and bring it to life across content formats. Some weeks will lean toward thought leadership and story development, others toward campaign planning, editorial calendaring and sequencing, or program coordination. You'll report to the Senior Director, Digital, oversee our contract writers, and work side by side with the people who run our channels every day: our organic social lead, the web team, our search and GEO specialist, and our customer advocacy, communications, and creative teams. The best programming is made together, and the mandate is genuinely fun: make great work and ship it, together. We're an AI-forward team, too. Marketing here is being built as an AI-enabled production line. Our editorial calendar lives in tooling you can query, and WEKA's brand and editorial standards are productized as AI skills you'll use every day. If you understand the art of a good story, can carry it across formats, and are as comfortable in analytics, the CMS, and AI tooling as you are in a story meeting, you’ll find this role rewarding.

Requirements

6+ years in editorial, journalism, or content strategy and management roles, with significant experience in B2B technology.
A mix of writing, story development, and hands-on production experience, including directing writers, freelancers, or agency resources.
Experience running a busy editorial calendar across several formats and many stakeholders.
Fluency in AI, cloud, or data infrastructure to discuss topics like inference and memory, with the judgment to consult experts when needed.
Daily working use of AI tools in personal practice, including self-built workflows.
Working knowledge of SEO and generative engine optimization, including internal linking and content structure for rankings and citations.
Demonstrated ability to collaborate effectively with designers, video producers, social and SEO leads, subject matter experts, and standards owners.
A sharp story sense and published work that demonstrates this (e.g., a newsletter, podcast, or video series).
Ability to distinguish a finished draft from one that is merely fluent.

Nice To Haves

Experience publishing in Sanity, or another headless CMS.
Producer experience in a newsroom, studio, publication, or branded media team.
