Wall Street Journal seeks a senior platform editor

The Wall Street Journal seeks an editor who will be responsible for planning and leading programming decisions on the Journal’s native platforms—including mobile and desktop, email alerts and push notifications—to inform, engage and delight readers.

Senior platform editors employ superb news judgment and knowledge of audience data in programming decisions. They demonstrate sharp writing and strong editing skills. They understand how to balance the needs of breaking news and enterprise journalism with subscribers in mind.

This role requires speed and proficiency with digital publishing tools, a strong command of newsroom workflows. The successful candidate will be an advocate for the needs of The Journal’s native platforms and off-platform channels with coverage chiefs and an evangelist for digital storytelling in the newsroom. This editor is a key voice in product initiatives for digital platforms and editorial tools. In the off-platform environment, this editor manages day-to-day relationships with external partners and are involved in shaping storytelling experiments.

The senior platform editors assign, direct and supervise the day-to-day work of platform editors, particularly during off hours, and ensure it is of the highest quality, utmost timeliness and high ethical standards. They will participate in training and performance reviews.
