Time is seeking an entrepreneurial editor to lead its technology coverage across all platforms.
You will be responsible for guiding Time’s storytelling as it relates to the business of the global technology industry, as well as the many ways that it shapes our culture. In this role, you’ll have the opportunity to help Time recruit and manage a growing team of full-time staffers. You should have a track record of breaking news as well as experience executing complicated editorial packages. This role is crying out for an all-around journalist who’s looking for a chance to edit, manage a team, and occasionally write and report impactful stories of their own. You should bring intellect and imagination to assignments and a passion for developing new forms of storytelling —to make everything from gadget reviews to deeply-reported investigations sizzle. A person of demonstrated integrity, you should bring good judgment, humor and generosity to this position. A love of collaboration is a must, as you will work with each part of the newsroom and the greater organization.
