Editorial Modeling Jobs (NOW HIRING)

About the Role

As an Associate Editor for Stacker Connect, you will edit submitted brand and nonprofit newsroom stories to meet Stacker editorial guidelines and prepare them for syndication on our newswire. Reporting to the Deputy Editor of Connect Editorial, you will edit coverage from a mix of for-profit brands and nonprofit newsrooms, helping produce an invaluable third-party newswire distributed to thousands of partner news outlets.

Our mission is to empower the world's publishers. Stacker's Connect newswire serves over 3,000 local news partners, ranging from major networks to independent outlets. The newswire helps complement the coverage of our publishing partners and engage their readers in new ways. We're looking for an experienced editor who is excited to edit news articles and features in a deadline-oriented newswire environment while also understanding how to work effectively with brand clients.

About Stacker

Stacker is revolutionizing the traditional newswire business model and the ways in which brand newsrooms and publishers connect. Our platform helps over 100 content contributors - brands, nonprofit newsrooms, and others - extend the reach of their content by seamlessly integrating with a network of thousands of trusted news publishers.

Stacker helps brands get their stories in front of more readers by syndicating content across a large-scale publisher network, enabling organizations to expand the reach and impact of their earned and owned media.

As a bootstrapped, fast-growing company, we're resourceful, innovative, and committed to building an inclusive, equitable culture. We are a remote-first team that values ownership, integrity, and collaboration—offering flexible schedules, unlimited vacation, an employee equity program, and full health & dental coverage. We champion long-term impact over short-term gains and believe in empowering our team with autonomy and opportunities for career growth.

What You'll Do

• Review and edit stories from brand and nonprofit newsroom clients for accuracy, style, and fit with Stacker's publisher network.

• Work with clients on light revisions, clarifications, and factual questions to get stories syndication-ready.

• Identify minor process inefficiencies in the editing pipeline and suggest improvements.

• Prioritize and edit multiple stories at once to keep pace with a fast-moving, newswire publishing schedule.

About You

You're an experienced editor with a sharp eye for storytelling and a strong grasp of journalistic standards, and you're equally comfortable evaluating the newsworthiness of a story as you are discussing data methodology or explaining an edit to a client. You move quickly without cutting corners, balancing the pace of a deadline-oriented newswire environment with the judgment needed to protect editorial integrity.

You understand that editing brand and nonprofit-submitted content is different from editing traditional newsroom copy: you know how to communicate editorial standards clearly and professionally to clients in a way that respects their goals while optimizing their stories for pickup by newswire publishing partners. You're comfortable digging into the data behind a data-driven story and flagging issues with methodology when something doesn't hold up.

What You'll Bring

• 3+ years of experience in journalism or a related field, with a history of maintaining high journalistic standards, a keen eye for storytelling, and the ability to discern the newsworthiness and integrity of content from diverse sources.

• Ability to clearly and professionally communicate editorial standards to clients in a way that addresses client needs and optimizes their stories for earned media pickup by newswire publishing partners.

• Ability to assess and address issues with the data methodologies in stories submitted by clients for Connect syndication.

• Ability to prioritize editing of multiple stories and maintain consistent throughput.

Nice-to-Haves

• Demonstrated understanding and experience in content syndication, resyndication, or similar partnerships, including familiarity with the nuances of working with brand partners and nonprofit newsrooms, ensuring content aligns with Stacker's values and standards.

• Understanding of the coverage strengths, aspirations, and gaps of the local journalism landscape, with an eagerness to help support newsrooms.

• Experience in personal finance/health/real estate coverage and reviewing/editing data journalism.
