U.S. News Best Cars helped more than 50 million car shoppers in the past year through rankings and reviews of new and used cars.
The primary responsibilities of the senior editor will be to lead the new car editorial team, managing both projects and staff. The senior editor will also edit new car reviews that are written based on the opinions from automotive critics along with safety, reliability and cost of ownership data that have been translated into scores. The senior editor will ensure that all reviews correctly summarize reviewer opinion and meet publication standards for accuracy, style and tone. The senior editor may be occasionally called on to write reviews, features, blog posts and other content, as well as to edit or update other content not specific to used cars.
