  • Managing a team of reporters
  • Editing a mix of breaking news, quick scoops, commentary, and investigations
  • Setting and enforcing deadlines
  • Establishing and fine-tuning newsroom workflows
  • Collaborating with teams across the organization
  • Commissioning, editing and managing relationships with freelance journalists
  • Overseeing and delivering on special projects and initiatives

Background + Qualifications:

  • A record of exemplary journalism
  • Experience managing reporters
  • At least 7 years of journalism experience
  • A track record of editing fast-turnaround posts, major investigations, and everything in between
  • Experience leading newsroom initiatives and improving newsroom operations

This is a remote position.
