The Oliver Wyman Forum, the independent think tank and convening arm of global management consultancy Oliver Wyman, seeks an Editorial Director to lead, manage, and help set strategy for a thriving thought leadership operation. This person should be a seasoned editorial leader and accomplished writer who can develop and place influential op-eds, shape major reports and articles, and manage a high-performing editorial team. The ideal candidate will bring the judgment, intellectual range, and storytelling instincts of a top-tier journalist or editor, combined with the strategic discipline to build a distinctive thought leadership agenda for a global professional services firm. In this role you will be both player and manager, an editorial superstar in your own right who also presides over a fast-paced content operation. You will write and edit top-quality reports and op-eds for Oliver Wyman Forum’s channels and for tier-one global publications. You will serve as a trusted editorial partner to senior Oliver Wyman Forum and Oliver Wyman leaders, helping them develop their public voice, formulate distinctive arguments, and translate complex research into persuasive, publishable opinion pieces. You will oversee the editorial strategy and portfolio for major, multi-year initiatives. You will manage a team of writers and editors, setting editorial standards, creating processes, and allocating resources to produce work with the rigor, clarity, and urgency of top-tier journalism. And you will collaborate across Oliver Wyman Forum’s research, marketing, and design teams to bring these campaigns to life, project the Forum’s insights and expertise around the world, and spark dialogue with global leaders.   This is a hybrid role that requires 3 days per week in our midtown NYC office. There is no option to be fully remote.
