Head of B2B Editorial Content

We're looking for an exceptional Head of B2B Editorial Content to lead the team that shows clients and prospects what YouGov's data can do. You'll own a global programme of original articles, our recurring data-led formats and flagship gated reports – turning YouGov's data into stories that business audiences, journalists and AI search tools trust and cite.

Reporting to our Global Head of PR & Editorial also based in London, the Head of B2B Editorial Content sits at the junction of journalism, B2B marketing and AI. You'll govern editorial standards, decide what we commission and why and make sure every piece works hard to build brand authority in priority sectors – while helping to move readers towards becoming clients. You'll also lead the way on AI-enabled editorial workflows, so the team produces more work faster while maintaining editorial quality and data accuracy.

You'll report to the Global Head of PR and Editorial and work closely with field marketing, product marketing, PR, research and commercial teams across the US, UK, DACH and other markets.
