The preferred candidate will have:

• At least 5 years of experience as a journalist.
• A deep understanding of audience analytics and how to create editorial experiences that drive engagement.
• Exceptional reporting and writing skills in order to present news that is simple, clear, fast and accurate.
• Experience editing and creating multimedia assets.
