Ideas Editor
Quartz seeks an editor to reimagine our Ideas coverage.
Ideas is simply our catchall word for, well, ideas, and is chiefly responsible for bringing outside voices to Quartz. This isn’t your parents’ op ed section though. We look to Ideas to obsess over the world’s most pressing issues that our readers obsess over, to peer around corners to reveal the future shape of the global economy and our place in it. It’s about ideas that spark creativity, fuel innovation and force change. At times these ideas will be provocative or counterintuitive.
Our contributors are entrepreneurs, scientists, academics, artists, and others whose experience and expertise provide surprising insights and prompt conversation and debate. Their contributions are expressed as clear, bold arguments, and can be as simple as a Tweet, or an Instagram story, and extend to a live Q&A or a 1,200-word article.
This editor will oversee our small Ideas team. Our ideal candidate will be plugged into vibrant networks of people, is cool under pressure, can edit fast and accurately, buzzes with ideas, and is intellectually curious and hungry to understand the world better. The Ideas Editor will get a kick out of taking other people’s work and making it shine. She likes experimenting with formats other than the 700-word article and is comfortable with using data to tell a story. A minimum of 2-3 years editing experience is required, in addition to some reporting experience. International experience and foreign languages are a plus.
Atlantic Media Values:
Across Atlantic Media, generally, the firm looks for two “pillar gifts” in its candidates. In all of us, these are more aspirational than actual, but they are central in our intentions.
• Force of Ideas: At the center of Atlantic Media work are the ideas within our writing. We believe that ideas – to the good and not – have consequence. Our highest work is bringing rigor, insight, intellectual honesty, to that ultimate purpose of separating the bad from the good, giving voice, argument, and flight to the latter.
• Spirit of Generosity:Atlantic Media seeks in its ranks a spirit of generosity – a natural disposition in each colleague toward service and selfless conduct. Atlantic Media writing should be cut from the same cloth – critical on the merits but informed by charity and forbearance in measuring motive and personal character.
