MIT Tech Review seeks special projects editor

The special projects editor develops some of the most important editorial products at MIT Technology Review.

In particular, these are the Innovators Under 35 list; the 50 Smartest Companies list; and stories and data for our growing membership service, Insider. In consultation with the other editors, the special projects editor compiles the companies and innovators lists and helps commission stories for those two annual packages. (This accounts for 25 percent of the position’s time.)

The special projects editor also works with the Business Reports editor to put together compelling data packages for the reports she produces (25 percent of the position’s time). The other half of the position’s time is devoted to finding, curating, and helping to produce stories for Insiders only.

This includes but is not limited to From the Labs, a collection of important research breakthroughs happening around the world.
