The Role 

HuffPost is looking for an accurate, fast editor to handle line and copy edits across the site, reviewing text, video scripts and social media content. This is a unique opportunity to work with a variety of reporters and subject areas.

Ideal candidates will be comfortable editing breaking news, enterprise stories, lifestyle articles and in-depth features. This position will require editing a broad range of text and visual materials, so editors should have a wide knowledge base and be a quick study.

• Assist with photo selection and ensure stories are visually appealing 
• Coach reporters on how to reframe or restructure pieces as needed
• Be part of a team that serves as a newsroom resource for questions about style and standards
• Be passionate about HuffPost’s mission and maintaining a consistent voice for the site
• Serve as a mentor and sounding board for reporters

You Have

• Impeccable news judgment and high editorial standards
• An expert command of grammar and AP Style
• The ability to make bigger-picture fixes to stories beyond basic copy edits
• Comfort with writing headlines and social copy
• Breaking news experience or a strong willingness to learn
• A willingness to work with reporters of all skill levels
• A excitement to work on stories of all types — from hard news investigations to quick viral pieces
