Job description

The Free Press is growing fast. We need an editor who can respond quickly to news events, craft smart stories, and get the best out of writers. We're looking for a sharp, creative, and highly organized Contributions Editor to join our editorial team. In this role, you'll work directly with outside writers-from established voices to first-time contributors-to bring compelling stories, and arguments to life for our audience. You'll be the bridge between The Free Press and a diverse set of thinkers, ensuring that every piece we publish is distinctive, rigorous, and true to our mission.
Responsibilities
  • Source, commission, and edit contributions from freelance writers, subject-matter experts, and opinion leaders.
  • Shape pitches into strong, clear, and original stories aligned with The Free Press's editorial standards.
  • Provide structural, line, and copy edits as needed, guiding contributors through the process from draft to publication.
  • Work closely with senior editors to set priorities, maintain the editorial calendar, and ensure timely delivery of content.
  • Develop and maintain strong relationships with writers, academics, journalists, and other potential contributors.
  • Help brainstorm editorial packages, special series, and big-picture coverage ideas.
  • Collaborate with design, audience, and production teams to maximize reach and impact.
Qualifications
  • 4+ years of experience as an editor in journalism, publishing, or related fields.
  • Demonstrated skill in editing op-eds, essays, or reported features.
  • A strong editorial voice with the ability to sharpen arguments and elevate prose.
  • Excellent organizational skills and ability to juggle multiple projects at once.
  • Familiarity with the current media and cultural landscape, with an eye for stories that break through.
  • A track record of working with a wide range of writers, from seasoned journalists to emerging voices.
  • Passion for The Free Press's mission and curiosity about ideas across the political and cultural spectrum
$140,000 - $165,000 a year
Location: New York, NU (in office; remote US considered for exceptional candidates)
Employment: Full-time
Other benefits: health, dental, vision; 401(k); paid time off and holidays; parental leave; short and long-term incentive plans
The Free Press is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. If you need a reasonable accommodation during the application process, please email to [email protected].
