Fortune is hiring a Leadership editor to grow one of our most important areas of coverage: Leadership and Management. What’s the best way to motivate a team? What tactics are great managers using to combat burnout and the Great Resignation? How do you run a meeting that’s not a waste of time? How can younger executives get up to speed on strategy, communication, workplace design, DEI, retention, and other top-of-mind topics? We’re looking for a standout editor who can think critically about all the skills, traits, training, and emerging science of how the best leaders operate, and what up-and-coming leaders can do to hone their skills.

The right candidate will have a familiarity with Fortune 500 companies and leaders, an interest in management and strategy, and a willingness to dive deep into these topics. You should be comfortable running a fast-paced team, and pivoting from quick hits on the news to assigning deeper profiles, analysis, and service pieces. Our newsroom thrives on collaboration, experimentation, and telling great stories across platforms.

You will:

  • Strategize and execute Fortune’s coverage of all things Leadership with an eye for sharp quick hits as well as big-picture trends
  • Determine the focus areas that Fortune will own and deploy staff and freelance resources to create conversation-starting journalism
  • Build and oversee a team of reporters, providing personalized coaching for continued success
  • Advance the story everyone is talking about with fresh insight
  • Assign and edit breaking news, exclusive scoops, and longform reporting
  • Bring a background in Leadership to newsroom-wide brainstorms and conversations
  • Contribute to our conferences and live events
  • Collaborate with editors and writers across the newsroom on breaking news and special packages
  • Ensure our coverage includes a diversity of ideas, perspectives, and voices
  • Uphold Fortune’s standards of journalistic rigor, accuracy, and fairness

The right candidate:

  • Has proven management and editing experience in a digital environment
  • Has a robust understanding of the major Leadership and Management trends driving transformation across industries
  • Brings a deep network of sources, writers, and speakers
  • Exercises careful, considered news judgment
  • Is driven to tell important stories that hold those in power accountable
  • Is infinitely curious and always has a story idea ready to go
  • Is eager to try out new formats, from hopping on camera for a video to contributing to one of Fortune’s newsletters
  • Edits clean, accurate, and insightful copy on deadline
  • Is flexible and adaptable
  • Effectively prioritizes tasks in a fast-paced environment and juggles creative personalities
  • Communicates professionally and effectively in a remote environment

We know there’s not a single perfect candidate for any job, so if you feel like you have the right skills to bring to this position but they are different from what we’ve listed above, we’d still love to hear from you.

Fortune’s headquarters is in NYC, but our editorial team is based across time zones and international borders. We’re working remotely right now because of the pandemic. We encourage applicants between the coasts to apply.

A few of Fortune’s perks and benefits:

  • Flexible working hours and schedule: We expect our editorial staff to show up consistently and meet deadlines, but there’s no need to take PTO for a midday doctor’s appointment or to leave an hour early for a flight. Working in news can mean nontraditional hours, and we work with each staffer to make sure there’s appropriate comp time for special projects.
  • 20 vacation days and 2 personal days on top of 11 company holidays and an honor-based sick leave policy
  • Health, dental, and vision coverage (90% paid for individuals and families), along with flexible spending accounts where Fortune contributes to your HSA
  • 401(k) plan
  • Generous parental leave
  • Dependent care, commuter, and cell phone benefits
  • Tuition reimbursement program
  • A commitment to an open, inclusive and diverse work culture
