- As an Editor you will join a team of in-house journalists and editors responsible for producing high-quality content about not just IBM but the tech sector at large, with a particular emphasis on artificial intelligence (AI).
- You will be responsible for performing top edits on all team content, including news stories, analyses, features and email newsletter copy, ensuring clarity, accuracy and alignment with IBM Think’s voice and editorial standards. This role requires a sharp editorial eye to refine content for tone, flow and impact, as well as exceptional skills in crafting compelling headlines that resonate with target audiences.
- You will also collaborate with teams outside of the editorial organization on email production, so expertise in email content and marketing is essential, including understanding best practices in subject lines and maximizing engagement.

- The ideal candidate will have a strong sense of tone of voice, the ability to maintain consistency across multiple content types and experience editing content for digital platforms. This position requires collaboration with writers, strategists, and other editors to deliver high-quality, engaging content that meets both audience and business goals.
