Job Title: Sub Editor – Tech & Business Journalism Part of The Guild’s Integrated Editorial Vision Location: Noida | Onsite | Experience: 3-6 Years | Type: Full-Time About The Guild At The Guild, we believe that storytelling is a tool of influence, clarity, and leadership — especially in the B2B economy. We are building an integrated editorial engine that doesn’t just report on the future of business and technology but helps shape it. This role offers a rare opportunity to work at the heart of The Guild’s editorial transformation, contributing across two of its flagship platforms — SME Futures and the soon-to-launch CIO Guild. SME Futures – Journalism for India’s Growth Backbone SME Futures is India’s leading digital media platform covering the country’s most dynamic, yet under-represented business sector — MSMEs. From new-age entrepreneurs to policy-shifting reforms, from grassroots innovations to digital-first pivots — we go beyond headlines to tell stories of ambition, adversity, and acceleration. What sets us apart is our commitment to deep research, narrative craft, and visual-first storytelling. We cover MSMEs the way business magazines cover Fortune 500s — with rigor, empathy, and voice.

CIO Guild will blend long-form analysis, CXO interviews, video storytelling, and high-concept explainers — making it India’s first bold step toward a Wired-for-Enterprise or MIT Tech Review-meets-Business Insider approach. You’ll play a pivotal role in shaping this new platform.
