News Applications Editor, Reuters

Reuters is looking for an experienced and creative News Applications Editor to help us drive digital transformation and innovation that enhances our journalism and the way we deliver it to financial, agency and consumer customers. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in journalism, a track record of innovation, and deep experience in building dynamic, data-driven applications such as trackers, dashboards and digital storytelling vehicles. We seek an experienced people manager and an effective collaborator, one who is just as at ease working with news reporters and editors as with technologists. Using Reuters platforms and technology resources along with the global reach of our reporting, the News Applications Editor will find unique opportunities to innovate the way we collect, analyze and present essential information to our media clients and readers. This editor will be driven by many of the same goals as our journalists but also acutely aware of how automation, scalability and smart templating via code can multiply our journalism’s footprint and make Reuters essential to our customers. The ideal candidate will excel at evaluating newsroom processes and goals and at communicating how they can be improved with efficient software development. Applicants also should have the technical skills to build, test and deploy the code that does the job.
