🏢 About Project Pulso Inc

Pulso is a Latino-led social enterprise that uses mobile technology to build deep digital relationships with Latino communities, transforming civic engagement and political power. Unlike traditional media, Pulso focuses on culturally resonant, action-oriented content that drives real-world impact.

About This Role

As Editor-in-Chief, you'll define and execute Pulso's editorial vision across platforms, driving audience growth through innovative video series and creator partnerships. You'll lead a remote team, represent Pulso at industry events, and shape how Latino communities engage with news and civic life. This role is pivotal in scaling Pulso's influence and deepening its connection with Gen Z Latinos.

💡 A Day in the Life

Start the day reviewing analytics from overnight, then lead a morning stand-up with the editorial team to align on content priorities. Spend the afternoon editing a video series pilot, meeting with a potential creator partner, and prepping for a media interview. End the day by reviewing the next day's content calendar and responding to team questions in Slack.
