About the Role

Law360 is seeking an Assistant Managing Editor to lead the editorial side of our data team - overseeing reporters, editors and research specialists who turn data into compelling, rigorous journalism and making sure our data-driven series are reported, written, edited and produced to the highest standards.

This is a hands-on editorial leadership role. The AME will shape story ideas, coach reporters and editors, and own the quality of everything the team publishes, from recurring data series to one-off investigative pieces. The AME will work closely with graphics, research and survey analysts to make sure the numbers behind our stories are sound and the storytelling around them is clear and engaging.

The AME will also help develop new data-driven series, identify datasets worth building, and help guide and shape surveys and research that are topical and genuinely relevant to our audience. We're looking for someone who can look at a dataset and see the stories that readers will care about.

Responsibilities

• Lead and manage a team of data reporters and editors, setting clear standards for reporting, writing and production across our data-driven series.

• Coach and develop reporters and editors, helping them sharpen both their data skills and their writing.

• Own the editorial quality and integrity of the team's output, including how data and statistical findings are interpreted and presented.

• Partner with survey and research specialists to make sure reporting is accurate, well-sourced and clearly explained.

• Coordinate cross-functional collaboration so stories publish on time and meet the highest standards.

Requirements

• 7-10+ years of relevant experience in newsrooms, with a strong track record in data-driven or investigative reporting and editing

• Demonstrated leadership or team management experience in a newsroom

• Sharp editorial judgment and strong editing skills, especially with data-heavy stories

• Comfort working with data of varying quality and completeness, and the ability to spot when the numbers don't add up

• Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain complex concepts to diverse audiences

• Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively across teams

Preferences

• Experience editing or producing recurring data series or investigative projects

• Familiarity with data analysis tools such as R or Python
