Job Description

Location:

New York, NY

Features Editor, WIRED

It’s been a big few years for WIRED. From DOGE reporting to buzzy covers, WIRED’s work reflects this historic moment in tech, politics, and so much more. As WIRED grows and becomes more global, we are investing further in creative storytelling—everything from interactives to photo essays to print-digital packages to the hallmark of WIRED’s features department, the deeply reported longform story. We are looking to add to our team of full-time editors assigning and editing these ambitious projects.

Some of these stories recount how entrepreneurs, activists, and leaders of all stripes are tackling humanity’s biggest challenges. Others are simply extraordinary tales—mysteries, crime sagas, fun romps. All illuminate the ways in which science and technology are changing business, politics, culture, society, and human nature itself. WIRED makes stories to be enjoyed across platforms, and features editors should have thoughts on how hefty ideas and big narratives can exist wherever audiences gather.

Even more important than having ideas is executing them. A WIRED features editor knows the difference between a topic and a story, can guide a writer in their reporting to bring out the most compelling characters and story elements, can imagine creative containers for big ideas, can spin up newsy features when the moment is right, is skilled at structuring longform narratives for maximum impact, and is a deft line editor with a love of elegant writing and zero tolerance for jargon. You will work with both WIRED staff writers and freelancers. In either case, you should be someone who finds joy in helping talented writers grow. You should be good at delivering clear, thorough, and empathetic feedback, be a font of ideas, and come with a roster of diverse and talented freelance and staff writers. At WIRED, we also have fun, and want work to be a place where that is possible. This is a Guild position based in New York City.

Responsibilities:

  • Conceiving feature stories and evaluating feature pitches from freelance writers and staffers
  • Assigning, tracking, and editing stories
  • Overseeing (along with colleagues) at least two packages a year, in print and online.
  • Recruiting freelance feature writers and helping staffers do their best features work
  • Participating in brainstorms with other editors, bringing original ideas and helping fine-tune others
  • Working closely with WIRED’s art, production, research, copy editing, and social teams

Skills and Qualifications:

  • Experience with, and curiosity about, stories on how technology and science are affecting business, culture, politics, and more
  • Demonstrated ability to turn feature story manuscripts into first-rate articles for a national audience
  • At least five years experience in a newsroom or magazine as an editor
  • Excellent skills in structuring narratives and line editing
  • Ability to work collaboratively and collegially with a team of fact checkers, copy editors, designers, photo editors, digital producers, social media producers, and other story editors
  • Facility with headlines, subheads, captions, and other elements of story building and promotion

The expected base salary range for this position is from $80,0000-$165,000. Salary offers are based on a wide range of factors including but not limited to relevant skills, training, experience, and education.

This is a guild position.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
