Staff Editor, Opinion

New Posted 15 December 2022 | New York, NY | The New York Times

The Opinion department has an opening for an ambitious editor to join the Special Projects team, which shapes and executes the department’s biggest collaborations. Some of our recent projects have focused on climate change, Covid deaths, mental health and fun. So yes, the subjects and story forms we produce vary wildly — from long-form pieces to immersive projects that span text, video, audio and graphics — but the constant is the first-class arguments that drive our journalism. We are looking for an editor who thinks flexibly and creatively, and can source challenging and fresh ideas and research from a diverse range of subject areas to shape into ambitious, new story forms. This editor will need to be able to toggle between big-picture thinking and minute attention to detail in order to help conceive and execute these projects, and support senior editors’ efforts on the team. In addition to envisioning the projects, the special project team manages the workflow and oversees the process of making each project, so good organizational skills will be key in working with staff from across the Opinion department.
