Senior Staff Editor, International (Temporary)

Times Opinion is looking for a temporary senior staff editor to help commission and edit op-ed guest essays about Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America for the section. The candidate will have deep expertise in the biggest global questions, ideas and arguments of the day, including the war in Ukraine, shifting power dynamics in Asia, the future of authoritarianism, far-right movements in Europe, the political shifts in Latin America, the post-War on Terror environment and the great power competition with China and Russia. A perspective on U.S. national security and military issues is also a must.

The ideal candidate will be comfortable editing pieces by anyone from lawmakers, and academics to investigative journalists and career civil servants. They should feel comfortable handling sensitive pieces by public officials and leaders in national security and intelligence. We’re looking for someone who feels comfortable digging into academic studies and analyzing policy and can then work with writers to produce clear, cogent arguments for Times readers in the U.S. and around the world.
