The Washington Post is seeking an entrepreneurial, creative and highly energetic editor to lead The 7 Live, which showcases what Post journalists are seeing, hearing and discovering in real time.
The 7 Live is a prominent new feature of The Post’s Home experience on web and app, delivering a steady stream of short-form, stand-alone journalism throughout the day. It will draw on the breadth and expertise of our newsroom to surface breaking developments, reporter analysis, explainers and context, revealing quotes, data discoveries, cultural moments and other timely observations that help readers understand what is happening now.

You thrive on collaborating with journalists across subjects, disciplines and teams.
Lead the daily editorial operation of The 7 Live, establishing its voice, standards, workflows and programming rhythms.
Ensure a consistent flow of timely, distinctive and high-value journalism throughout the day.
Identify, assign and edit short-form stories and updates drawing on reporting and expertise from across The Post.
Work closely with reporters, editors and visual journalists to identify observations, discoveries and reporting that can be quickly transformed into compelling stand-alone journalism.
Develop creative formats for news, analysis, explainers, quotes, data, cultural moments and other forms of timely storytelling.
Build efficient workflows that make it easy for journalists across the newsroom to contribute while maintaining high standards for accuracy, quality and presentation.
Partner closely with the News Hub and Digital Desk to identify opportunities and ensure The 7 Live reflects the breadth and urgency of The Post’s report.
Use real-time audience data to make programming decisions, evaluate performance and continuously refine the product.
Collaborate with Product, Visuals and Content Strategy colleagues to improve the reader experience and develop new capabilities for The 7 Live.
Experiment with story formats, presentation, cadence and programming to build reader habit and engagement.
Champion The 7 Live across the newsroom, cultivating contributors and helping journalists understand what makes a successful contribution.
At least five years of editing experience at a major news organization or digital publication.
Exceptional news judgment and a strong instinct for stories, angles and observations that will resonate with broad audiences.
Excellent editing and headline-writing skills, particularly the ability to distill complex subjects into concise, engaging presentations.
Experience managing a fast-moving digital report and making confident editorial decisions under deadline pressure.
An entrepreneurial mindset and experience launching or developing new editorial products, verticals, formats or audience initiatives.
Strong understanding of audience behavior across web and mobile platforms.
Experience using real-time analytics and performance data to inform editorial decisions and improve products.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to build relationships across a large newsroom.
A willingness to experiment, learn quickly and adjust strategy based on results.

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled, but those received by Sept. 11 will be prioritized.
