Homepage Editor, Night Curation Desk

The Washington Post is seeking an editor who can curate a daily editorial package that informs, enlightens and engages through smart curation and powerful presentations, pairing sharp headlines with stunning visuals and effective layouts to create maximum impact when promoting digital content on the homepage and the app. The homepage editor role requires a well-rounded journalist with strong news judgment, excellent headline-writing abilities and a keen sense of audience, SEO and design. Candidates must not only have a command of style and grammar but also understand how to write headlines for different platforms, including alerts, which the editor would help identify, write and send. While the ability to respond quickly to breaking news is a must, equally valuable is the skill to identify trending topics of high interest to audiences and provide counterprogramming with stories that offer a respite from the crush of breaking news.
