Job Details - this job has expired, please see similar jobs below
Quartz seeks an editor to lead its expansion into subscriptions, taking an entrepreneurial approach to defining our journalism in this area and working with several reporters focused on it.
The mandate is to identify creative and compelling editorial approaches for paying readers. We have theses about the opportunities in line with Quartz’s global business journalism, but are looking for this editor to take an experimental approach to defining this area of our business and of our newsroom. This is a mini-startup effort within a thriving global news organization. We expect it to become the fastest-growing part of our business.
We’re looking for someone who’s highly energized by the challenge of figuring this out, who understands how reader analytics can support this task, and who’s excited by the possibility of working very closely with Quartz’s global newsroom and world-class product team.
We'd look to you to lead a small team of journalists writing for a subscriber readership, working to pursue topics and formats that attract and help retain paying users. We’re looking for someone with a deep knowledge of business news and professional editing and reporting experience. This editor needs to have a facility with data, an enthusiasm for presenting information in creative, nontraditional formats, an entrepreneurial approach to their work, and the ability to convey curiosity and humor in their writing. Experience outside the United States and languages other than English are a plus.
To apply, please submit a resume and five links to relevant work you’ve had a hand in.
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.
Atlantic Media is an EOE of Minorities/Women/Vets/Disability.
