Since launching last year, Rest of World has published over 150 stories from (and on) 51 countries. Through compelling storytelling and fresh, innovative design, our stories explore the spaces where tech, culture and human experience collide. We are a mission-driven nonprofit startup that aims to push forward our understanding of technology’s role in rapidly changing cultures.
Rest of World is looking for an energetic, enterprising and digitally savvy deputy editor to oversee the construction of our most ambitious stories, ensuring that our journalism continues to reveal something unique to our readers.
The ideal candidate in this role will be a seasoned editor who, in addition to elevating the quality of our stories, will advise and support the executive editor in crafting an ambitious editorial strategy for the publication’s future. The person will have solid experience editing magazine stories and is confident injecting the mechanics—and business—of tech clearly in our stories for readers. This position reports to our executive editor.
This will be one of the two deputy editor roles at the publication, and along with the co-deputy editor, this editor will share knowledge and individual strengths to find a working rhythm as a pair. This role will require managing a group of senior editors.
The position will be based in New York.
To apply, please send a resume and a cover letter to jobs@restofworld.org with “Deputy Editor” in the subject line. In your cover letter, please share at least two longer stories published by Rest of World you recently read, and tell us what you would change in the final edits.
