About the Opportunity

Kensington Tours has spent two decades building a reputation as the world's leading provider of private guided travel. Now we're building the editorial voice to match.

This is not a content marketing role. We're looking for an editor who thinks like the teams behind the world's most trusted financial and news publications, someone who understands that authority is earned through curation, consistency, and editorial discipline. You'll shape how Kensington Tours communicates the world of travel to our clients: what's happening, what matters, and what it means for how they should plan their next journey.

The model is closer to creating a highly anticipated, trusted intelligence briefing than a travel magazine. We draw from the best trade and consumer sources in the industry. We add Kensington's expert lens. We deliver something Kensington clients can't get anywhere else.
