The Morning is looking for an editor who’s excited about helping lead a close-knit, energetic team and shaping the world’s biggest and most influential newsletter, which is also one of The Times’s most-read pieces of journalism. The ideal candidate must be a strong editor – both conceptually and stylistically – with particular skill at producing clear, conversational writing. The editor will work as a deputy to David Leonhardt, overseeing The Morning’s staff of about 10 people, spread across the U.S. and London.
