Job Description

Email is an important tool for connecting readers with a wide range of journalism produced by the company. The Home and Newsletters teams are seeking an editor who will help lead our efforts to use targeted email to grow and engage our audience.

The editor in this new role will help lead an email operation that amplifies the reach and impact of Times journalism on a scale that few other surfaces can match.

We are a team that works at the speed of the news, so we need an editor who believes in our mission and is passionate and knowledgeable about what’s happening in the world, and is eager to work in a fast-paced environment.​​

This editor must be graceful, efficient and collegial under pressure; set wise priorities; and be comfortable synthesizing the direction of multiple supervisors.

Responsibilities:

• Help manage and supervise the editorial calendar for targeted email: Curate the lineup, determine send times and pacing, and ensure that workflow trains are running on time.

• Write and edit short but engaging emails that deliver breaking news, feature stories, service journalism and standout content from The New York Times, Wirecutter, Cooking, Games and The Athletic.

• Develop a mastery of the tools we use to send targeted emails and the data we use to assess their impact, taking a strategic approach to content optimization and audience development.

• Skillfully manage our audience segmentation system, which enables us to use what we know about our readers to deliver relevant stories to them.

• Collaborate with editors, product managers, designers, engineers and data analysts to optimize everything from content and scheduling strategy to workflow and design.

Basic Qualifications:

• Five or more years of experience as a digital news editor.

• Excellence in news judgment, audience-sensitive framing and writing mechanics.

• Experience with analytics and a well-formed view on how we can act on them.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Proficiency with email best practices, including A/B testing.

• B.A. or B.S. degree.

The annual base pay range for this role is between $130,000.00 and $140,000.00.
