Description

Platform Engineering Masters is seeking a Head of Research & Editorial to lead Weave Intelligence, their analyst and research practice covering platform engineering, internal developer platforms, and the agentic enterprise. The role owns the company's intellectual agenda — publishing research under a personal byline, running the editorial calendar, leading analyst methodology standards, and representing the company at major industry conferences. The person will lead an existing content team while maintaining hands-on involvement in research and writing.

Responsibilities

Own the house thesis on platform engineering, PE++, and the agentic enterprise, and keep it ahead of the market
Run a quarterly theme calendar that every report, article, webinar, course, and video hangs off, aligning content, events, and sales
Set the split between net-new thought leadership backed by own data and rapid-response analysis of current market discussions
Lead the Weave Intelligence analyst practice: research agenda, methodology standards, editorial ownership of State of Platform Engineering reports and market guides
Apply and defend the editorial firewall — sponsors buy distribution and association, never conclusions
Publish regularly under own name and take the analyst chair at company events and major industry conferences
Take vendor and enterprise briefings and turn them into a structured view of the vendor landscape feeding reference architecture and research
Lead and develop the content team: content PM, narratives and QA lead, video producer, and brand designers
Build relationships with other media houses, analyst firms, and independent voices for co-published research and syndication
Work with founders on their public positioning so the strongest ideas reach stage and page

Requirements

6+ years in roles analyzing technology markets — industry analyst, editor, lead writer, content or product marketing lead, or developer advocacy lead with strategic remit
Real depth in platform engineering, developer tooling, cloud infrastructure, or adoption of AI in software development, with ability to engage staff engineers and CTOs
A body of published work under own name with a defensible, evidence-backed view on where the industry is going
Narrative judgment: understanding the difference between a topic and a thesis, and between something true and something worth saying now
Editorial rigor with experience running methodology, sourcing, and fact-checking on consequential work
Experience leading a small team of writers, researchers, or producers and developing their capabilities
Comfort in public: on stage, on camera, in briefing rooms with vendor leadership teams
Operating discipline: maintaining calendars, standards, and a cadence that consistently ships
Exceptional written and spoken English
Willingness to travel a few times per year for events and offsites

Conditions

Amsterdam-based position
Travel required several times per year for events and offsites
Startup/scale-up environment with a globally distributed team
Access to major industry conferences including PlatformCon, KubeCon, re:Invent, and Google Cloud Next
