The posting

The Atlantic is seeking a senior editor with exceptional writing and editing skills to join the newsroom’s audience engagement team. The team’s mission includes maximizing the reach and impact of our journalism, cultivating relationships with readers, and building habit on our storytelling platforms.

This editor will find the clearest and most compelling language to promote The Atlantic’s journalism across platforms. They will have a strong editorial judgement, possess a sharp eye for grammar, work quickly between stories, and help guide other team members in improving their skills. This editor will have extensive experience writing, editing, and copy editing language in a newsroom. Their work will focus on helping new and existing readers to understand the value and power of the ideas, arguments, and expertise that have animated our writer-driven publication since its founding in 1857. The role will at times involve weekend, night, and early-morning work.

Responsibilities will include:

  • Oversee the daily distribution of The Atlantic’s journalism, with a focus on ensuring magazine-quality share text on our app, home page, newsletters, and social media platforms
  • Ensure high-quality, rapid promotion of stories, including breaking news and features, and social videos
  • Directly supervise one or more audience editors
  • Write, edit, and post presentation copy for Atlantic stories on all platforms
  • Work with editors to maximize efforts on audience team initiatives, which may include newsletters, podcasts, video production, reader engagement, evergreen recirculation, and more
  • Work with the Audience Insights team to test and evaluate performance across all platforms, communicate insights to the team and the newsroom, and continually sharpen best practices
  • Support with team operations, which may include liaising with other departments, leading newsroom presentations, and more

Qualifications of a successful candidate include:

  • 10+ years experience of writing, editing, or operating news-branded social media accounts or digital platforms
  • Previous management experience
  • Scrupulous attention to detail, including writing structure, mechanics, grammar, and spelling
  • Advanced editorial judgment
  • Strong understanding of the media landscape, including emerging platforms
  • A collegial, energetic, “yes and” approach to problem solving and creative endeavors
  • The ability to manage time, communicate clearly both up and down management lines, accomplish both discrete tasks and longer-term projects on deadline, and switch easily between different duties
  • Critical thinking, attention to process, and an appetite to experiment and explore

Salary minimum: $105,000; Salary maximum: $125,000

This position is based in New York City or Washington, D.C.

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.
