Custom Content Editor

The Washington Post’s in-house creative agency is looking for an experienced content editor/writer to assign, oversee and execute editorial branded content work for clients, primarily in our business to consumer category. We are a fast-growing team of marketers, editors, writers, designers, developers, producers, and program managers with a focus on creating the most innovative, award-winning multi-media programs for Washington Post advertisers.

Reporting to the B2C content director, our ideal candidate is much more than a traditional editor. She/he is a digital, cross-media storyteller extraordinaire, with extensive experience recognizing when and where to include digital story-telling tools (data visualizations, video, photography, interactives, etc.) to enhance the narrative. Also essential is the ability to adopt different styles and tones and to write/edit conversationally, taking a strong POV while subtly integrating clients’ messaging and driving their goals. A blend of journalism and content marketing/advertising background is ideal for this role. A passion for the bourgeoning native advertising/custom content space is absolutely essential.
