Job description


Boston Globe Opinion is looking to hire a deputy editor for Ideas, its standalone, eight-page section of reported articles, essays, commentary, video, and interviews about politics, culture, social change, education, science, and technology.
The deputy Ideas editor collaborates with the Ideas section's three other staffers -- the editor, an associate editor, a staff writer -- to identify stories worth pursuing; recruit and commission freelance contributors; and edit articles from outside contributors and Globe opinion writers. This editor would also be asked to work closely with our video team to produce short and long-form video from Ideas content and featuring Ideas contributors. Experience producing high-quality visuals, whether video, illustrations, graphics, or photographs, is a plus.
Ambition will be encouraged: We want this editor to regularly produce the kinds of thoughtful, needle-moving, surprising, and delightful content - whether 2,000-word pieces that can grace the section cover, incisive 900-word analyses of current events, or 90-second social video.
Leadership is also part of the job: When the Ideas editor is away, this editor will be called upon to help oversee the section.
Responsibilities:
  • Be capable of handling all the basic responsibilities involved in producing the weekly section online and in print.
  • Evaluate incoming pitches with an eye to what will surprise, delight, and enlighten readers, while provoking unconventional thinking and engaging debates.
  • Generate nuanced, thoughtful, timely ideas of their own.
  • Find and cultivate compelling writers and commission pieces from them.
  • Work closely with those writers through initial concepts, first drafts, revisions, and final digital and print production.
  • Have a stylish eye for strong visuals, and have the ability to commission and create them.
  • Write sharp, alluring headlines and social copy.
  • Imagine and work with digital editors to produce multimedia versions of our essays, including short video, graphics, quizzes, and animation.
  • Contribute to live events involving our writers.
  • Oversee production of the section when the Ideas editor is away.

Qualifications:
  • At least seven years of journalism experience and the highest standards for accuracy, fairness, and depth of reporting.
  • Experience working with writers, particularly freelancers.
  • The candidate should have produced - either as a writer, editor, or both - columns, stories, or videos that blend reporting and original arguments/commentary.
  • An understanding of how opinion journalism differs from news reporting and writing.
  • A willingness to produce video and other multimedia, as well as an openness to working with multimedia editors on audio, video, graphics, and social media.
  • Relationships with a diverse network of writers and sources will be considered a plus. So will experience covering science, technology, business, or culture, though it is not required.
  • A commitment to bringing a broad spectrum of voices into the section, including from writers and video influencers whose points of view the editor might not agree with.
  • A willingness to adapt and be audience focused, with a curious mindset and a commitment to creating an inclusive work environment

The BGMP office is located in downtown Boston, near Faneuil Hall and Quincy Market, and is easily accessible by MBTA and commuter rail lines. This position is based in Boston, and candidates should be based in the area or willing to move.
The annual salary range for this role is $90,000 - $122,000.
This range reflects the band for this role. We are committed to fair and market-informed compensation. It is anticipated that most qualified candidates could be hired within the midpoint of the range. Compensation for the successful candidate will be informed by their particular combination of skills, experience, and qualifications.
