• Bring a tech point of view to newsroom-wide brainstorms and conversations
• Contribute to our Brainstorm Tech conference 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

• Brings a deep network of sources, writers, and speakers
• Exercises careful, considered news judgment
• Aches to tell important stories that hold those in power accountable

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
