SeniorEditor,LeadershipandAIInnovation

Edutopia, the influential publisher of stories and videos about what works in education, is looking for a sharp, experienced editor to shape its emerging school leadership and AI Innovation beats.

Bonus points if you’ve worked to develop podcasts–a leadership podcast is under consideration—video, newsletters, or other multimedia formats. You’ll be pitching and writing features that give educators something concrete to act on and spark real conversation; the kind of stories educators, parents, and edtech leaders can’t stop debating in comment sections and group chats. You’ll help shape editorial direction, build relationships with influential voices in leadership, education and AI, and cover everything from classroom tech, leadership and learning science to motivation, student development, and the future of education.
