The Wall Street Journal seeks a senior editor for its off-platform team to drive storytelling across vertical distribution channels like Snapchat and facilitate collaboration between the social-media and new-audience teams.
This editor will manage the Journal’s daily output on Snapchat Discover and execute vertical-storytelling projects off platform with an eye toward integrating successful offerings into the core product. This person will publish and optimize visually driven content, understanding where and how it appears on specific channels.
The job includes close coordination with our new-audience teams to initiate experiments and distribute stories effectively across a wide range of platforms, including our core mobile app. This editor will work with other social-media editors to develop the WSJ’s visual approach across various channels—particularly vertical platforms like Snapchat and Instagram—working directly with the photo, video, graphics, design and strategy departments to create compelling multimedia packages and find opportunities to serialize features.
The visual storytelling editor will report to the social/off-platform editor.
