Opinion/Community Editor

The Information was founded in late 2013 with a simple idea: write deeply reported articles about the technology industry that you won't find elsewhere. Since then, we've moved markets, gotten the early scoop on billions of dollars of acquisitions, and told you what's happening inside companies like Apple, Meta and Google. As a subscription-only publication, we aim high and take on challenging stories and adhere to the highest of journalistic standards. We've attracted hundreds of thousands of active readers who look to us for breaking news stories and impactful features, and we continue to invest aggressively in our team.

The Information is seeking an editor to oversee our Opinion section and related projects, editing leading entrepreneurs, executives and thinkers of our day on technology, business and media topics.

Our Opinion editor shapes the conversation around the most complex and important issues in business, science and policy. He or she will be responsible for curating, surfacing and sourcing Opinion pieces from The Information’s community and beyond—putting them in contact with Silicon Valley luminaries and some of the most interesting writers in business.

Our Opinion pieces surface for our readers the important conversations in tech between and among executives, investors, regulators and scholars. The Information’s subscribers include decision-makers at many tech, finance, entertainment, and media organizations.

The Opinion/Community editor will forge connections with these subscribers through our Forum section. At a time when online conversation has become so polarized and predictable, Forum is a place for smart people to share ideas and learn from each other in a high-trust environment. The Opinion/Community editor will help stimulate these discussions, while identifying ideas and writers that merit a broader audience.

Requirements:

3+ years of extensive editing experience; previous experience with Opinion pieces is a plus
A deep knowledge of technology and business, and connections to the companies, executives, entrepreneurs, funders, researchers, and thinkers driving the industry
Bachelor’s Degree
Real persistence and organization and an interest in rolling up your sleeves to work through ideas and copy
Work on-site 3 days a week in our New York City or San Francisco office

Benefits:

Company-paid medical, dental and vision coverage for employees and their dependents
Basic life insurance
Generous paid leave that increases over time
A parental leave policy for new parents
401(k) corporate match
Flexible Spending Account
Commuter benefits

A highly professional, inclusive, diverse workplace with a zero-tolerance policy for harassment

Salary Range: 120,000 - 160,000 USD Annually + Bonus + Benefits
