HuffPost is a subsidiary of BuzzFeed, Inc.

As part of our esteemed news organization, HuffPost is a leading source of award-winning news and commentary for the most diverse and connected generation ever— with reporting spanning across politics, lifestyle, entertainment and more. HuffPost believes in putting people before power and telling the stories that too often go unheard, from the voices that matter. 

The Role

HuffPost is looking for an editor to publish stories, follow news, and write headlines on our widely read mobile app and front page. HuffPost's front page updates regularly and features a diverse range of stories from across the publication. This is not a typical front-page editing job: our front page editors are expected to set the news agenda, become involved in story assignment, send alerts and post on social media.

This position's typical shifts will be Tuesday-Saturday, 4pm-midnight ET, and can be performed remotely and reports to the Managing Editor.

You Will

• Find stories that should lead the site, and contribute ideas for how to present them
• Determine what's most interesting and important about a story and capture the story's essence in a headline and push notification
• Conceive and select the most compelling images to accompany stories on the front page
• Identify stories that need to be on the front page and coordinate with reporters and assignment editors
• Write or edit quick, clean first versions of breaking news stories, create headlines that get people talking

Part of what makes BuzzFeed, Inc. a pioneer in digital media is our commitment to exploring new ventures that lead to spreading truth and joy. As such, you may be asked to share your knowledge with your colleagues through presentations or trainings, to screen and interview job candidates, or to take part in recruitment or networking events on behalf of the company and be part of a union.

You Have

• Solid news judgment; know when a story matters, when it doesn't — and why
• A passion for all types of news and keep up to date on all the latest
• Experience in a breaking news environment that requires meticulous attention to detail
• Effective collaboration skills and able to partner across teams, including outside the U.S.
• A sense for how to make news compelling using images, headlines, and other publishing elements
• Knowledgeable about the content and headlines typically featured on HuffPost's front page
• Have 4+ years experience in online journalism

This position is in the WGA-E bargaining unit.
