Quartz seeks deputy news editor

Quartz seeks a Deputy News Editor to work with its teams of journalists to produce coverage with bracing creativity and ambition.

You would work with our reporters at every stage of the journalistic process, assessing and assigning story ideas, providing support through reporting and writing, and editing the final copy.

We are looking for someone with an obsessive interest in news and compulsion to find the most original and smart approaches for tackling it. This person must lead through their energy and curiosity, and deftly guide Quartz’s journalists to produce the greatest work they could aspire to.

We are looking for someone who is 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. The ideal candidate has a deep understanding of strategies and tactics for producing quality journalism that finds a broad readership online. They also have an intense interest in the world beyond the country where they reside, as exhibited by time spent living abroad and foreign language fluency.

Deep experience with coverage of business, finance, economics, markets, management, technology, and science is a strong plus. Experience with editing on deadline and digital publishing are requirements. We’re also looking for someone who overflows with ideas for topics and creative approaches to them

To apply, please submit a cover letter, resume, and five links to relevant work that you produced yourself or played a lead role in editing. The links matter most.

To apply, go here.
