Join The Daily Beast as Deputy Editor for the Australian Bureau

The Daily Beast is seeking a dynamic and dedicated Deputy Editor to join its growing team in Australia. The Daily Beast is a leading digital news site based in the United States and known for its fearless and incisive reporting. We cover breaking news, politics, pop culture, and more with a distinctive voice that engages a dedicated audience.

About the Role

The Daily Beast’s Australia team is growing, and we’re looking for an experienced deputy editor who devours U.S. news to join us.

The Australia team is part of The Daily Beast’s international around-the-clock newsroom, and helps to cover breaking news from politics to premieres.

  • Maintaining high journalistic standards and uphold The Daily Beast's editorial voice.
  • Be across multiple timezones to effectively communicate with the global team.
  • An understanding of the Daily Beast’s voice and dynamic tone.

Qualifications

  • Exceptional writing, editing, and communication skills.
  • Strong news judgment and the ability to make quick editorial decisions.
  • Deep understanding of digital media and audience engagement strategies.
  • Ability to work under pressure and meet tight deadlines with a small team.

Why Join Us?

  • Be a key part of a respected, influential and growing news organization.

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.
