Senior Editor, POLITICO Magazine

POLITICO Magazine is looking for ambitious, creative editors to join our team. The ideal candidates will possess stellar editing skills, enthusiasm for politics and policy, and a track-record of writing or editing standout stories. The Magazine is committed to publishing the best, most original longform and ideas journalism about politics and policy, from narrative features to ideas-driven essays to quick-turn perspectives on the news. These editors will be a key part of that mission.

We are looking for at least one editor to focus on reported magazine features and at least one to focus on high-quality analysis and ideas essays. As we are a relatively small, agile team, there will be overlap between those roles.

What You'll Do:

• Assign, develop and edit stories for the Magazine, both quick-turn stories and longer-term ones
• Identify and recruit talented contributors
• Collaborate across departments, especially with the art team and writers from the POLITICO newsroom
• Work on magazine special packages and projects

What You'll Need:

• Minimum 5 years of relevant experience
• Existing relationships with writers and the ability to develop new talent
• Ideas, ideas, ideas. We are looking for editors who are full of interesting, actionable ideas - not just story ideas but also ideas about new ways to present and package our journalism for maximum impact
• A deep appreciation for good journalism and a refined sense of what makes a good magazine story work
• A can-do attitude

We are driven by our values. We are relentless contributors, disruptors of the status quo, collaborators, talent cultivators and DEI stewards. Our culture is defined by grit, total integrity and a prioritization on innovation.

We value our people. We offer a competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits package, including health and wellness benefits, commuter and cell phone reimbursements, retirement plans, as well as work-life balance flexibility and opportunities for career development.
