Value Add is the leading business publication for the operating side of private equity. We tell the stories about what happens after a private equity buyout -- management changes, restructurings, corporate turnarounds, digital transformations, etc.
We launched our newsletter in 2023, which has quickly grown to thousands of subscribers from some of the world's top PE firms. Today, we also publish articles, reports, case studies, and executive interviews.
We're looking for our first editor who will write and edit 2-3 articles per week. As our most-senior employee, you will set the pace and tone for Value Add and help us own media coverage on PE-backed companies. The ideal candidate is an experienced business reporter who has covered aspects of private equity or M&A news, and has interviewed senior executives on- and off-the-record.
This is a fully remote, part-time role to start of 20 hours per week. Great for someone who is freelancing for multiple publications.
