<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span data-contrast="auto">Position Overview:</span></strong> <br>The Senior Editor is a senior operational authority in Newsweek’s U.S. newsroom, responsible for setting the editorial bar and enforcing it relentlessly. This role demands editors who can run a national news desk at full throttle—making high-stakes editorial decisions in real time, rewriting aggressively, and delivering journalism that competes head-to-head with the strongest U.S. newsrooms. Reporting to the US News Director, the Senior Editor owns daily execution of the U.S. news report, turning strategy into journalism that is fast, authoritative, analytically sharp, and unmistakably worth a reader’s time. This is a role for editors who expect to touch the most important stories themselves, not manage them from a distance.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This is a full-time position working 3:00 pm-12:00 am ET five days a week, including one weekend shift. This position may be worked remotely anywhere in the United States.</p>
