Multimedia coverage is a top priority and we’re looking for three exceptionally talented and energetic journalists for the new regional posts of Multimedia Editor in the Americas, Asia and EMEA.

The successful candidates will have an excellent understanding of our work across video, pictures, text and graphics and how we can bring it together better for our customers.

The Multimedia Editors will work closely with the regional editors from the different parts of our news file to ensure that we have all the content we need and see new opportunities for telling stories better in a multimedia way. They will communicate closely with the teams that are packaging our multimedia products and ensure that our customers get good notice of what we are producing.

These roles will require leaders who have excellent news judgment, plenty of ideas and can work with the speed that our customers demand.
