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.
