Full-Time Weekend Editor

The Verge is searching for an ambitious editor to reimagine coverage across the weekend.

You'll be responsible for pitching and producing series that make The Verge a vibrant, must-visit destination each Saturday and Sunday. You'll spend weekdays developing programming, conducting interviews, curating roundups, and assembling fun, smart, engaging weekend reads. Then on the weekend, you’ll cover breaking news and other exciting stories as they come up.

This role requires working three weekdays and both Saturday and Sunday.

Candidates should have a passion for tech news and a deep interest in how it connects to the worlds of policy, entertainment, and beyond. We need someone who can cover a TikTok trend as easily as they can cover a court ruling about the TikTok ban.

You should have expansive ideas for what our weekend coverage could look like — The Verge’s front page is a big canvas to fill, and we need someone who’s excited to create a vibrant array of stories to fill it.

You should have:

1. Newsroom experience as a writer and editor.
2. A deep familiarity with our coverage areas, particularly consumer tech.
3. A fountain of ideas for story formats.
4. A great sense of organization.
5. A rigid adherence to deadlines.
6. The ability to operate independently with confidence.
7. A sharp sense for great headlines and angles.
8. An eye for great stories.
9. The ability to move fast and pivot to meet the needs of an ever-evolving news cycle.

If you think you have what it takes, but don't meet every single point in our job posting, please apply with a cover letter to let us know how you believe you can bring your unique skills to the Vox Media team or get in touch!

We've hired chefs who became editors, DJs who became UX designers, and sommeliers who became writers.
