Kalmbach Media is looking for a top Editor to lead a talented team in producing trusted, on-trend content for people who are passionate about beading and jewelry-making. Bead&Button began life 25 years ago as a magazine that spotted the burgeoning interest in beading and quickly connected with a curious, creative audience eager for how-to projects, inspiration, advice, and product news. It has grown along with the DIY market to encompass a robust website, videos, e-commerce, books, a subscription box program, and the world's largest consumer show of its kind. This is a hands-on job with broad-reaching, multi-platform responsibilities.
