Features Editor

The Seattle Times, a family-owned news organization and one of the nation’s premier regional news sources, is looking for a visionary, innovative, and grounded Features Editor to join our Pulitzer Prize-winning newsroom. You will pursue and tell stories that reflect the vibrancy of the Puget Sound region. You should be excited by the flavors, landscapes and people of the Pacific Northwest and eager to lead our 15-member Features team in its exploration of the food, drink, arts, outdoor activities, events, getaways and personalities that make the area special. You’ll be the impresario that puts into motion print and digital journalism that appeals to a broad range of readers and users on the platforms they frequent. And you’ll feel equally comfortable responding nimbly to breaking news and diving deep into artfully told, visually rich tales that inspire reader loyalty to The Seattle Times. The Seattle Times is an award-winning newsroom with a history of producing groundbreaking journalism for a broad regional audience. Independently owned by the local Blethen family for more than 120 years, The Times has won 11 Pulitzer Prizes, the most recent in 2020. It is considered a leader among major metropolitan newsrooms, producing rapid-fire breaking news, deep and richly told narrative and explanatory stories, high-impact investigative reporting, and powerful, gripping visual journalism. Please note: while currently remote, this position will require some work in our Seattle office once normal operations resume. Applicants should be current (or future) residents of the Greater Seattle area.
