By joining Box, you will have the unique opportunity to continue driving our platform forward. Content powers how we work.

WHY BOX NEEDS YOU 

We’re looking for an ex‑journalist who thrives on breaking stories, shaping narratives, and elevating editorial standards. As Editorial Lead, you’ll operate as our in‑house journalist — spotting newsworthy angles, producing differentiated thought leadership, and coaching colleagues to deliver publication‑quality work. Your mandate: build a reliable, high‑velocity cadence of exceptional content that positions Box as a top‑tier authority on AI, unstructured data, and the future of work—while also driving mid‑funnel engagement through crisp product explainers and customer stories.

Why This Role Now

  • Media disruption = opportunity. As legacy tech outlets shrink, brands with credible
    voices are filling the gap.
  • LLM search era. Mentions—and true expertise—beat backlinks. Great content earns
    both.
  • We can break news ourselves. Stories > press releases; analysis > announcements.
  • Brand matters more than ever. Quality editorial is the fastest way to build authority in crowded AI markets.
  • Paid social saturation. Owned content channels cut through where ads no longer do.
  • Familiarity drives purchase. Buyers pick vendors they already know—consistent editorial keeps Box top‑of‑mind.

 

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Story Mining & Pitching – Constantly surface and prioritize timely, audience‑first story ideas that only Box can tell.
  • Fast Drafting & Writing – Produce agenda‑setting news features, thought‑leadership articles, and product explainers that resonate with CIOs, builders, and knowledge workers.
  • Editing: line‑edit all major pieces to ensure clarity, voice, and factual rigor.
  • Quality Standards & Style Guide – Define and enforce newsroom‑grade processes, fact‑checking, and ethical guidelines.
  • Source Development – Build relationships with internal subject‑matter experts, data analysts, and customers to surface exclusive insights and anecdotes.
  • Contributor Coaching – Level‑up internal SMEs and freelance writers with feedback, workshops, and briefing materials.
  • Multimedia & SEO Integration – Work with video, design, and SEO teams to package stories for maximum visibility.

 

WHO YOU ARE

  • We are an AI-first company. This means you approach your work with a growth mindset and find ways to leverage AI to help make faster, smarter decisions that will 10X your impact at Box.
  • 6+ years in a fast‑moving, well‑known tech newsroom or equivalent editorial environment.
  • Demonstrated ability to uncover scoops, write agenda‑setting features, and coach other journalists.
  • Exceptional writing, editing, and headline skills—able to distill complex technical topics into compelling narratives.
  • Working knowledge of SEO fundamentals, analytics dashboards, and audience development tactics.
  • Experience managing multiple projects and deadlines simultaneously.
  • Executive presence and stakeholder‑management chops; able to push for story quality while partnering well.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Prior in‑house newsroom or brand‑publisher experience.
  • Background covering AI, enterprise SaaS, developer tools, or B2B infrastructure.
  • Familiarity with CMS workflows (Drupal, WordPress, or headless systems) and modern AI writing tools.
  • Line‑management experience (full‑time staff or freelancers).
  • Multimedia storytelling skills (video scripting, podcasting, data visualization).
