Washington Business Journal seeks managing editor

Washington Business Journal is seeking a dynamic, digitally savvy editor to join its fast-paced, award-winning newsroom.

The Managing Editor (M.E.) is the newsroom’s chief operating officer, overseeing and ensuring the smooth and orderly flow of content from conception to publishing on all platforms. As the newsroom’s most hands-on manager and coach of reporters, the M.E. is charged with bringing ideas, inspiration, and constant guidance to the content team.

Reporting directly to the Editor-In-Chief (EIC), the Managing Editor actively oversees and directs the deployment of resources across the many publishing platforms – online, mobile, email, print, social, etc. – hour by hour, minute by minute.

If you thrive in an environment where you are leading and coaching reporters as they break news at a rapid pace, consider joining Washington Business Journal’s team.

To apply, send a resume, clips and a cover letter to editor Doug Fruehling at dwfruehling@bizjournals.com.
