This person must love to read and have a sixth sense for what other people want to read. You will commission original features, columns, and essays by known and unknown writers and experts, bringing stories and perspectives that are not being seen elsewhere. You are fluent in the world of business and tech, have a record for obtaining access, and are interested in many different aspects of this beat, from micro and macro trends in Silicon Valley, to the rising CEO worth profiling and more.
Medium isn’t where readers will find breaking news on stock prices or press releases for startups; instead, we’re looking for stories that will reach and resonate with a broad audience, one that’s interested in industries and where they’re headed—and in reading great stories about fascinating people making big bets.
The right person for this role has several years of experience covering business as an editor, and has a stable of freelance writers who can pitch and execute, as well as connections to industry and company leaders.
This editor has an eye for quality, is intellectually curious, and displays excellent judgment when it comes to commissioning everything from investigations to profiles to deftly composed essays.
At Medium, we foster an inclusive, supportive, fun yet challenging team environment. We value having a team that is made up of a diverse set of backgrounds and respect the healthy expression of diverse opinions. We embrace experimentation and the examination of all kinds of ideas through reasoning and testing. Come join us as we continue to change the world of digital media. Medium is an equal opportunity employer.
This position can be based in either New York or San Francisco.
