Head of Editorial, Axios Live
for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
We need to decide how to split content.
Section About the role: could be the introductory paragraphs: "The big picture: Axios is a modern media company...". Also "Why it matters:" and "Go deeper:" maybe part of responsibilities. But we can put About the role as overview.
Responsibilities: list of duties from "Go deeper: This is a high-impact leadership role..." bullet points.
Requirements: maybe the "Worthy of your time: Ideal candidates will embody..." includes experience years etc. Could be considered qualifications. We'll treat as Requirements.
Qualifications: maybe the list of "Experience with video editing..." etc as plus. Could be Qualifications.
Skills: maybe the bullet list of skills like "Excellent writing, copy editing..." etc. Could be Skills.
But we need to avoid duplication. Let's parse the posting:
- The big picture: Axios is a modern media company... (overview)
- Why it matters: Axios Live is one of Axios’ three core business pillars... (overview)
- Go deeper: This is a high-impact leadership role with broad editorial and operational responsibilities, including but not limited to:
Then subheadings:
Axios Live Editorial Leadership (list)
Programming and Standards (list)
Strategy and Innovation (list)
Connect Booking and Coverage (list)
- Worthy of your time: Ideal candidates will embody an entrepreneurial spirit, a deep passion for Axios’ mission and journalism, and the following skills:
Then numbered list 1-? Actually they list items with descriptions: "12 - 15+ years of journalism or editorial experience, including significant experience leading teams and complex editorial operations." etc. That's a list of requirements/qualifications.
- Starting salary for this role is in the range of $180,000 - $230,000 ... (Pay)
- What Axios brings to the table besides salary: list of benefits.
- Then Axios is committed to embracing AI... (maybe part of responsibilities or culture). Could be included in About the role or Responsibilities.
- Equal Opportunity Employer Statement (boilerplate, remove).
Thus we need sections:
About the role: combine big picture, why it matters, maybe AI commitment.
Responsibilities: the Go deeper bullet points.
Requirements: the "Worthy of your time: Ideal candidates will embody..." list (experience years, live news, etc). Could also include "Ability to travel for major events..." etc.
Qualifications: maybe the "Experience with video editing, live production, or broadcast is a plus. A background in media, policy, Capitol Hill, or political campaigns is also a plus." plus maybe "Understanding of how editorial excellence supports business goals..." etc. But that might be overlapping.
Skills: maybe the list of skills like "Excellent writing, copy editing, and research skills, with exceptional attention to detail, keen news judgment, and storytelling ability." etc. Actually those are in the Worthy list as well. Hmm.
We need to avoid duplication. Perhaps better to treat:
- About the role: overview paragraphs.
- Responsibilities: the Go deeper sections (Axios Live Editorial Leadership, Programming and Standards, Strategy and Innovation, Connect Booking and Coverage).
- Requirements: the "Worthy of your time: Ideal candidates will embody..." list (the numbered items). That includes experience years, live news, cross-functional relationships, writing skills, digital/social media familiarity, Smart Brevity, leadership, pressure, rolodex, understanding editorial supports business, travel ability, video editing plus, background plus.
- Benefits: the list under "What Axios brings to the table besides salary:".
- Pay: the salary range paragraph.
- Schedule: not present, omit.
We should not create Qualifications or Skills sections if they'd be redundant. But the instruction says use sections only when posting has real specific content. We could still include Qualifications and Skills if we can extract distinct content. However the Worthy list already includes many skill-like items. Could split: Requirements = experience years, live news, cross-functional, etc. Skills = writing, copy editing, research, attention to detail, news judgment, storytelling, digital/social media, Smart Brevity, leadership, pressure, rolodex, business understanding, travel, video editing plus, background plus. But that seems overlapping.
Better to follow typical pattern: Requirements = experience, education, etc. Skills = abilities. Qualifications = maybe pluses. But we risk duplication.
Given the instruction to prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones, we could combine Requirements and Skills into one section called Requirements (or Qualifications). But we need to follow the allowed headings list; we can choose which to include. We could include Requirements and Benefits and Pay and About the role and Responsibilities. That's five sections.
Thus we will output:
About the role
... (overview paragraphs)
Responsibilities
- ... each bullet from Go deeper sections
Requirements
- ... each item from Worthy list
Benefits
- ... each benefit
Pay
... salary range paragraph
We must not include Schedule.
Now we need to extract the content precisely, preserving all substantive information, not inventing or summarizing away detail.
Let's copy the relevant text.
Overview paragraphs:
"The big picture: Axios is a modern media company dedicated to providing trustworthy, award-winning news content in an audience-first format. We’re hiring a Head of Live Editorial to join our award-winning events team, Axios Live! Why it matters: Axios Live is one of Axios’ three core business pillars, bringing Axios journalism to in-person and virtual audiences through interviews, panels, roundtables, and executive forums. This senior editorial leader will oversee macro people management, connect the Booking and Coverage silos, and serve as the primary liaison between Axios Live and the broader newsroom. Reporting to the Executive Vice President, Global Head of Axios Live, this role ensures our live events portfolio meets Axios’ editorial standards, reflects diverse perspectives, and strengthens Axios’ position at the forefront of news and business storytelling. Go deeper: This is a high-impact leadership role with broad editorial and operational responsibilities, including but not limited to:"
We could stop before Go deeper for About the role. But the "Go deeper:" intro is part of responsibilities lead-in. We'll keep About the role up to before "Go deeper:" maybe include that sentence? The instruction: preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. The "Go deeper:" sentence is a lead-in to responsibilities; we could include it in About the role or responsibilities. Safer to include it in About the role as it's still overview. But then responsibilities will start with the bullet points.
Thus About the role paragraph includes everything up to "Go deeper:" inclusive? Let's include up to "including but not limited to:" as part of About the role? Might be weird. Better to keep About the role as the big picture and why it matters and reporting line. Then Responsibilities start with the bullet points after "Go deeper:".
Thus About the role text:
"The big picture: Axios is a modern media company dedicated to providing trustworthy, award-winning news content in an audience-first format.

Now Responsibilities: we need to capture each bullet under the subheadings.
Let's extract:
Under Axios Live Editorial Leadership:
- Set the editorial vision and strategy for Axios Live programming across all event formats.
- Ensure all Axios Live editorial outputs, including onstage interviews, marketing materials, recap articles, and post-event coverage, meet Axios’ editorial standards and Smart Brevity style.

- Lead and develop the Axios Live editorial team, including editors, bookers, coverage leads, and Managing Editor; oversee team structure, role design, performance management, and career development.
- Foster a collaborative, high-performing culture aligned with Axios’ mission and values.

- Partner with Communications to align on timely promotion, amplification, and coverage of Axios Live events, while identifying opportunities to grow the Axios brand, audience, and event reach.

Under Programming and Standards:
- Develop event concepts, programming arcs, and editorial frameworks for all Axios events, summits, and larger Axios-hosted programs.

Under Strategy and Innovation:

- Represent Axios Live internally and externally, and potentially onstage at live events, as a senior editorial voice.
Under Connect Booking and Coverage:
- Own the connective tissue between Booking, including securing newsmakers and influencers, and Coverage, including event language, recaps, live-tweeting, and post-event content.
- Ensure seamless coordination among editorial, events, sales, and partnerships so programming is editorially sound and commercially compelling.
We should also include the AI commitment paragraph maybe as part of responsibilities? It appears after benefits? Actually after salary range: "Axios is committed to embracing artificial intelligence as a core part of how we work. All team members are expected to actively develop AI literacy and use AI tools to enhance their productivity, creativity, and efficiency. We invest in ongoing learning to ensure every employee is equipped to responsibly and effectively integrate AI into their daily workflows." This is a responsibility/culture. Could be included in Responsibilities or About the role. Since it's about expectations, maybe include in Responsibilities as a bullet
