About The Position

The CFO Club helps finance leaders navigate the complexity of modern finance so they can focus on strategic decision-making, capital efficiency, operational effectiveness, and long-term value creation. We provide peer-driven insights, practical frameworks, executive playbooks, and community-powered experiences that help CFOs and finance operators lead with greater clarity and confidence in a rapidly changing environment shaped by AI, evolving systems, and organizational complexity. Our audience includes CFOs, FP&A leaders, controllers, finance operators, and senior decision-makers looking for practical insight, trustworthy guidance, and meaningful professional connection. We are looking for a Senior Editor to help build The CFO Club into a trusted, community-powered media brand for modern finance leaders. This role is responsible for growing loyal, engaged finance leadership audiences through authoritative, practitioner-led editorial experiences across articles, newsletters, social, video, podcasts, livestreams, events, and strategic partnerships.

It is an audience growth and editorial leadership role centered on creating serious-fun, decision-support content that helps finance leaders make better decisions, discover better tools and workflows, and navigate the changing realities of modern financial leadership. You will help shape the voice, authority, growth, and audience experience of the brand. Your work should increase subscriber growth, newsletter engagement, return audience behavior, topical authority, and trust with senior finance professionals.
