Editorial Coordinator

Editorial Coordinator – NYC

Location: NYC [On-site]

Role Overview

Sapphire is seeking a sharp, schedule-savvy Editorial Coordinator to anchor our publishing and content operations across fashion, tech, and experiential commerce. This role blends editorial precision with production logistics—supporting founder-led initiatives, contracted creatives, and cross-platform storytelling. You’ll be the rhythm keeper behind our content calendar, the gatekeeper of brand voice, and the liaison between Sapphire’s vision and its creative execution.

This is not a passive support role. You’ll help ensure every published piece reflects Sapphire’s standards of creativity, motivation, clarity, and impact.

Infrastructure & Documentation

Codify every friction point into process—turn missed deadlines, vague drafts, or vendor ambiguity into protocols to enhance continuous improvement

Maintain analog backups and version history for all editorial assets

Support IP protection efforts by documenting authorship and creative lineage

Ideal Candidate

5+ years in editorial coordination, publishing, or branded content—bonus if you’ve worked in fashion, tech, or founder-led startups
