Multiplatform Editor, Curation and Platforms

The Washington Post is seeking an editor who can produce 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 app and distributed news platforms. This role requires a well-rounded journalist with strong news judgment and a keen sense of audience. Candidates must not only have a command of style and grammar but also understand how to write excellent headlines for different platforms, including the app, homepage and alerts. While the ability to respond quickly to breaking news is necessary, equally valuable is the skill to identify trending topics of high interest and provide counterprogramming with stories that offer respite. This candidate should have a mobile-first mentality and a strong understanding of that audience’s behaviors and needs, including how best to present content clearly in a limited space. Helping to determine story treatment and promotion on The Post’s app and mobile site is a critical function under this role.
