Editor in Chief

Editor in Chief - The Baltic Times (Remote, B2B) How often do you get to run newspaper? Not edit someone else's vision. Not manage a section. Run the whole thing — strategy, voice, content, direction. That's exactly what this role is.

About Us Daftcode is a technology group driven by an analytical approach to business. As a venture builder, we create, scale and invest in startups across Deep Tech, FinTech, InsurTech, Cyber Security and Blockchain. We back bold projects — and we give the people who run them real ownership.

One of those projects is The Baltic Times , an English-language newspaper covering Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania: politics, economy, business, culture, tourism and social affairs. A recognizable title with history, region-wide reach, and huge untapped potential.

The opportunity We're looking for a full-time Editor-in-Chief who will run The Baltic Times. This is a pivotal opportunity with a strong brand behind it: you'll rebuild the publication from scratch, define what it stands for, and lead it wherever your vision takes it.

And we have an ambitious goal to reach together: taking The Baltic Times from a quarterly to a monthly. That's real growth to lead more content, more readers, more impact.

The Baltics are one of the most fascinating regions in Europe right now. Geopolitics, booming tech, security on everyone's mind. Someone is going to tell that story to the English-speaking world. Why not you?

What You'll Own

• The publication. All of it, meaning editorial line, strategy, content, standards, voice
• Building the newspaper from the ground up, your way
• Scaling the publication from a quarterly to a monthly, and everything that comes with it
• Coverage of a region the world is watching: politics, business, economy, culture, society
• A growing focus on cyber security, with our in-house experts as your support

• You know the Baltic states or you're genuinely fascinated by them and ready to go deep
• You're drawn to security topics and want to build real expertise in cyber security
• You've built something editorial from scratch — or you've been waiting for the chance to
• You're independent and full of ideas. We're not looking for someone to execute our plan. We're looking for someone with their own
• English at C2 level

What You Get

• Direct support from Daftcode's experts in FinTech and cyber security
• B2B contract
• Fully remote flexible work mode from anywhere in the world, the Baltics not required
