As Managing Editor, I was responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations of all editorial staff. I was responsible for story ideas and assignments, final editing and page design. I led the team with high expectations of absolute accountability and creativity. Story quality and quantity were equally vital and expected to be delivered within tight and consistent deadlines. Simultaneously, I worked as Editor of the company’s multi-regional women's magazine, where I was the direct manager of 11 members of staff on a quarterly basis. This required the supervision and coordination of editorial writers, graphic designers, ad-sales and marketing professionals as well as circulation teams.
