Axios seeks a media editor

Axios is dedicated to providing trustworthy, award-winning news content in an audience-first format. We’re hiring a media editor!

Why it matters: The media editor is responsible for overseeing and elevating all aspects of our coverage of the media and communications industries, including newsletters, breaking news, live events, and membership programs.

  • You’ll support a reporting team in their pursuit of scoops, data-driven insights and distinctive pieces that dig deeper than the obvious story lines.

The details: Ideal candidates will embody an entrepreneurial spirit, a passion for Axios’ mission and have the following skills and qualities.

  • A sharp news judgment and familiarity with Axios’ news sensibility.
  • A demonstrated ability to generate and execute on stories that elevate coverage beyond the news cycle.
  • Proven experience editing and upholding editorial standards.
  • Collaborative and strong communicator; able to work across many parts of the newsroom.

Starting salary for this role is in the range of $110,000 – $145,000 and is dependent on numerous factors, including but not limited to location, work experience, and skills. This range does not include other compensation and benefits. Axios’ compensation philosophy takes into account cost of labor differentials across the country. Because this is a remote-optional job posting, this salary range takes into account all possible locations within the United States, but candidates will only be eligible for the salary range for their location.
