Baltimore Business Journal seeks a managing editor

The Baltimore Business Journal is looking for a managing editor to serve as the newsroom’s chief operating officer.

While the ME oversees and ensures the smooth flow of content from conception to publishing on all platforms, the ideal candidate is particularly adept at and has a particular passion for digital excellence.
As the newsroom’s most hands-on manager and coach of reporters, the ME brings ideas, inspiration, and guidance to the staff, and actively directs the deployment of resources online, on mobile, in email, in print and on social media. The ME reports directly to the editor in chief.

The successful candidate will require strong news judgment, an ability to make snap judgments about how best to tell stories, an aptitude for managing both people and content, an interest in inspiring, motivating and mentoring reporters, editors and other staff members, keen organizational skills and a drive to create a collegial, collaborative newsroom culture and vibe.

A minimum of five years’ experience as a beat reporter and/or editor in a vibrant newsroom is required.
