  • Edit stories to the highest standards, with attention to accuracy, fairness, independence and narrative
  • Self-manage your own deadlines and set appropriate deadlines for your writers. Ensure that stories are in stable shape ahead of production
  • Demonstrate support and understanding of our value of journalistic independence and a strong commitment to our mission to seek the truth and help people understand the world
  • This role reports to the Editor, Magazine.

Basic Qualifications:

  • Demonstrated track record in leading collaborative teams
