+ Edit some major projects every year, with a focus on significant companies, institutions and public figures and reporting that has an impact.

+ Manage reporters on the Enterprise team, working with them to produce journalism that sets us apart. This includes guiding the reporters in developing ideas, coaching them on reporting and writing, and editing their stories.

+ Work with a range of journalistic talent from both digital and TV, including digital staff members who want to elevate their game into long-form work, television reporters and producers, and freelancers.

Qualifications:

+ At least 7 years of experience at major newspapers, websites or magazines, including at least 3 years reporting and editing investigative work.

+ A track record of breaking or editing big news stories that received national attention or award recognition and spurred change.

+ Strong ability to prioritize reporting focus areas in a rapidly changing news environment, driving the most important and original angles.

+ Deep familiarity with document- and data-based reporting; news-driven and business investigations; and accountability journalism.

+ A proven ability to partner with video, data, graphics and social teams to deliver engaging digital stories.

Desired Characteristics:

+ Ability to manage quick-turn accountability stories based on breaking news while also launching and guiding longer-term projects.

+ Creative approach to enterprise features and investigations and willingness to experiment with new formats and technologies.

+ Ability to work well with cross-functional teams, including digital reporters and editors, TV producers and correspondents, and art, visuals and platforms teams.

+ Strong communication skills and a collaborative, solutions-oriented approach to management.

+ Exceptional leadership skills and the ability to work collaboratively across a large news organization.
