You will have strong editorial instincts, news judgment, technical fluency and a sophisticated understanding of how visual storytelling advances readership. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast‑paced environment, can move between breaking news and enterprise work, and is energized by cross‑disciplinary collaboration. This position is based in our Washington, D.C. newsroom.

What Motivates You

  • You enjoy identifying stories best told through data visualization, maps or interactive experiences.
  • You are energized by driving story ideas and leading multiple projects from inception to completion.
  • You thrive in a collaborative newsroom environment and enjoy solving editorial and technical challenges.
  • You are curious about emerging storytelling formats and eager to push visual journalism forward.
  • You encourage and empower reporters to develop innovative techniques, work more efficiently, and grow professionally.
How You’ll Support the Mission
  • Pitch, assign and edit visual‑first stories in coordination with newsroom priorities across breaking news, politics, policy, business and other major coverage areas.
  • Edit stories for clarity, accuracy, storytelling impact and visual refinement in alignment with newsroom audience goals.
  • Contribute to breaking news coverage with fast, accurate and engaging graphics that explain a uniquely visual angle.
  • Mentor and support visual journalists through thoughtful editing, feedback and collaborative problem‑solving.
  • Help strengthen team processes, contribute to best practices and support a collaborative team culture.
The Skills and Experiences You Bring
  • At least 5‑8 years of editing experience in visual journalism, graphics, data reporting or a related field.
  • Strong news judgment and the ability to identify stories where graphics are visually distinctive, meaningfully advance a story, drive readership and reinforce The Post’s mission.
  • A thoughtful approach to delivering feedback as part of the editing process.
  • A strong portfolio of maps, information graphics and visual stories for digital audiences.
  • Ability to balance speed and ambition, contributing to breaking news while meeting deadlines on enterprise work.
  • Excellent communication skills and a collaborative approach to newsroom work.
  • A commitment to accuracy, clarity, accessibility and journalistic rigor.
Compensation and Benefits

The pay range for this position is $109,200 - $182,000. The actual starting salary will depend on individual skills, experience and qualifications.

  • Competitive medical, dental and vision coverage
  • Company‑paid pension and 401(k) match
  • Three weeks of vacation and up to three weeks of paid sick leave
  • Nine paid holidays and two personal days
  • 20 weeks paid parental leave for any new parent
