Rouleur is looking for an Editorial Director / Editor-in-Chief to lead our editorial strategy and elevate our voice across digital, print, audio, video and live events.

Rouleur is a premium media brand with global reach, known for its high-quality storytelling, striking visuals, and deep connection to cycling culture. As we continue to grow across platforms – from our website and magazine to podcasts, newsletters, video, and our flagship live event Rouleur Live – we're looking for a visionary editorial leader to shape Rouleur’s direction and drive audience growth and revenues.

We are seeking someone who can lead with ideas and authority, understand how editorial and commercial goals work together, and bring energy to a multi-platform team. You don’t need to be embedded in cycling, but you do need to be curious, culturally engaged, and able to lead a distinctive voice across formats.

You’ll take ownership of Rouleur’s editorial strategy – managing a talented team, working with contributors across the world, and collaborating across commercial, marketing and product parts of the business to ensure our content is world-class and our voice is consistent, modern and bold.

You’ll be based at our office in Somerset House, London WC2, with some flexibility for hybrid working.

Please include CV and covering letter in your application to jobs@rouleur.cc. We support a diverse workforce and inclusive workplace, and welcome applications from different backgrounds.

Key responsibilities include:

• Setting and leading the editorial strategy across digital, print, audio, video and events

• Managing and supporting an editorial team and international network of contributors

• Overseeing content across Rouleur.cc, our app, social platforms and newsletters

• Shaping the editorial direction of the Rouleur magazine

• Developing content and live programming for Rouleur Live

• Collaborating with commercial and marketing teams to deliver creative branded content

• Using analytics and audience insights to inform content development and platform strategy

• Overseeing the production and evolution of Rouleur’s podcast and video output

• Managing editorial budgets and upholding high production values across all formats

• Acting as a senior voice for the brand – publicly and internally

You should bring:

• Proven editorial leadership across multiple platforms – digital, print, audio/video

• Experience balancing editorial integrity with commercial opportunity

• Strong editorial judgement, with the ability to commission, curate and elevate content

• Confidence in using analytics, SEO and content performance tools to drive growth

• Familiarity with audience development, brand building, and content monetisation

• A love of culture, sport, design, or storytelling – and a curiosity about the world Rouleur covers

• Comfort working with multimedia content, branded partnerships, and live programming

• The ability to think expansively while managing day-to-day editorial operations

Desirable

• Experience editing a premium lifestyle, culture, sport or tech publication

• Podcast and/or video production experience

• Visual storytelling, photography, or commissioning expertise

• On-camera, presenting or public-facing experience

• A network across cycling, sport, or cultural media (helpful, but not essential)
