Quartz seeks an editor to lead its global newsroom team and guide daily coverage with creativity and ambition.
You would run Quartz’s global newsroom, assigning coverage, editing stories, and managing teams of journalists around the world, including our Africa and India editions and bureaus in Europe and Asia.
The ideal candidate has an obsessive interest in news and is compelled to find the most original and smart approaches for tackling it. You lead through energy and curiosity, and would deftly guide Quartz’s journalists to produce the greatest work they could aspire to.
This role is best suited to an experienced, enterprising news leader excited about the experimental opportunities of digital journalism, while possessing a love of language, facility with data, and fluency in traditional reporting and editing methods.
We are looking for someone with experience managing a team of journalists and deep understanding of strategies and tactics for producing quality journalism that finds a broad readership online. The ideal candidate has intense interest in the world beyond the country where they reside. The ability to speak multiple languages and time spent working abroad are both a plus.
To apply, please submit a resume, a cover letter touching on what you’d bring to the core requirements of the role, and three links to work of your own or that you’ve guided others to create. The links matter most.
Location: London preferred, though open to other locations.
Experience outside the U.S. and languages other than English are a plus. To apply, please submit a resume and five links to relevant work you’ve had a hand in.
