Job Description
The Washington Post is looking for an accomplished, creative and impact-oriented journalist to drive coverage of some of Silicon Valley’s biggest tech companies, the growing creator economy and their vast impact on American society. This job requires an experienced editor who knows how to help reporters source up, spot trends, break news and capture the next big idea ahead of our competitors.
The ideal candidate will be adept at helping reporters identify consequential news and enterprise targets that illuminate the impact and evolution of the companies and key figures in the industry, especially how they intersect with broader social and political trends. We’re looking for someone with the flexibility and news judgment to shift gears as the conversation moves – from the latest wave of tech layoffs to the latest investments in generative AI, from national battles over content moderation to local battles over self-driving cars – and the editing skills to elegantly translate it all for a general audience.
