Quartz seeks global news editor

Quartz seeks an editor to lead its newsroom team and guide daily coverage with bracing creativity and ambition.

You would run Quartz’s global newsroom, assigning coverage, editing stories, and managing the bulk of our journalists.

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.

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.

We are looking for someone with intense interest in the world beyond the country where they reside, as exhibited by time spent living abroad and foreign language fluency.

This role presents the opportunity to join Quartz’s talented editorial, design, and developer staff in building on their success and propelling the business news venture toward greater creativity and excellence.

To apply, please submit a resume or LinkedIn profile, 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.
