• A community that understands the realities of tech in the AI era
• A bold brand willing to take risks
  
  

Your role is to turn this foundation into a clear, compelling editorial presence that informs, entertains, and challenges the status quo.

• Manage an editorial calendar that feeds social channels with stories connecting Iru’s innovation to customer outcomes.
• Write and edit standout content: Smart, entertaining, opinionated pieces that resonate. You can scale your impact with freelance writers while also rolling up your sleeves and writing yourself.
• Tap into the Iru community: Leverage our network of customers, partners, and industry voices to amplify and enrich Iru's editorial presence.

You are:

• A builder who thrives in ambiguity and loves starting things from scratch
• Comfortable taking risks—you’d rather try something new than play it safe
• Strategic and hands-on: You can set the vision and hit publish yourself
