SmartNews is looking for a night and weekend editor with impeccable news judgment, news production experience, knowledge of content operations and an ability to juggle tasks in a fast-paced environment. We’re seeking someone who’s driven by the urgency of breaking news and who can thrive under pressure to get information out quickly to those who need it. This position works West Coast hours, but we welcome applicants across the U.S.
SmartNews’s content team is responsible for delivering breaking news through push notifications, news curation, and helping to develop new content experiences within the app. In this role you will work alongside senior editors to handle day-to-day operations, send push alerts, develop coverage plans for major events and monitor breaking news in real time.
News is the defining part of this role: You should excel when events are unfolding in real time, display high editorial standards, and balance both accuracy and speed. You’ll also need a strong understanding of the media landscape, as SmartNews partners with hundreds of publishers including the AP, USA Today, NPR, LA Times and more. Founded in Tokyo in 2012, SmartNews has quickly become the go-to source of news for millions of users around the world, and a leading news and information curation mobile app.
