Managing Editor

About Metaplane

Metaplane helps companies trust their data.

Our observability platform helps data teams (like Imperfect Foods, Reforge, Drift, Vendr, Appcues, and many more) continuously monitor their data pipelines so they know when things break, what went wrong, and how to fix it — before executives message them.

We’re a Boston-based, remote-friendly company founded by MIT and HubSpot alums. We’re backed by leading investors such as Y Combinator, Flybridge, and notable angel investors, including the founders of HubSpot, Okta, and Lookout.

The Role

We’re focused on building the best data observability platform on the market, but we recognize that bringing data quality to all companies requires more than just building a great product. We also need to educate data engineers about how data observability can help them deliver data their stakeholders can trust. 

As our Managing Editor, you will be responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of our content marketing program. From producing content briefs to editing incoming drafts, you’ll help us maintain a consistent publishing cadence. You will work closely with our head of marketing, but should expect to collaborate with the whole team. 

If you’re a talented editor with a passion for delivering a steady stream of quality content, this job is for you.
