Fractional Brand & Editorial Director

Employer: Vulcury | Location:Remote 

Role:Fractional Brand & Editorial Director

Vulcury is an AI-focused venture studio developing and supporting businesses, initially including Trustbridge. The founder generates original ideas, voice recordings, transcripts, and high-level creative direction. We seek a fractional editorial leader to turn those inputs into precise, compelling published communication without requiring founder involvement in editorial minutiae.

Responsibilities: Own brand style, editorial quality, narrative coherence, and publication-ready approval for routine approved content. Preserve founder's distinctive voice, refine angles/briefs, review long-form writing, social posts, website copy, scripts and video edits; flag inaccurate or unsupported claims; provide actionable feedback to India writers/editors, through a Growth Operations Manager who controls schedules and people. Escalate major positioning changes and reputational issues to founder. Maintain separate Vulcury and Trustbridge messaging rules.

Explicit exclusions: Does not own hiring/supervision of India team, CRM, lead generation, general marketing execution, SEO operations, publishing logistics, analytics or daily campaign scheduling; need not personally draft or edit every asset.

Qualifications: Strong editorial judgment, founder storytelling, brand strategy, narrative craft, video literacy, consistent responsiveness, and comfort with entrepreneurial/AI subject matter. Reliable feedback and independent approval capability are essential.

Success:Coherent brand guides, consistently polished written and video work, brand accuracy, routine content independently approved, founder freed from approximately 70% of routine review effort.

Terms:Approximately 5–8 hours/week; 90-day fractional trial; modest cash retainer and possible later milestone bonuses/equity subject to performance and approvals. Applicants provide relevant editorial samples and founder-led storytelling examples.
