About the role:
We’re looking for a Deputy Congress Editor who is eager to help shape our ambitious coverage of Capitol Hill.

You should have a solid knowledge of politics, preferably with experience as an editor or reporter covering the Hill.

Capitol Hill coverage feeds into almost every part of our newsroom — so you’ll need to be organized, collaborative and a great communicator. You’ll help plot out our daily and weekly publishing schedule and assist with Hill coverage around major events.

Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of experience in journalism.
  • Strong interest in and knowledge of politics, especially Capitol Hill.
  • Strong writing skills.
  • Mentorship experience, either as a reporter or editor, preferred.
  • Strong communication skills and an ability to work with experienced and newer journalists alike.
  • Flexibility to work during times when the House and Senate are in session and to pitch in on breaking news as needed on weekends.

Salary:
$110,000-$155,000 commensurate with experience.
