Job Description Observer Media, New York (Open to Remote)

Observer covers the people who move markets, capital, policy and culture. Observer puts news about Power Players into context. We do not subscribe to the idea that companies and governments do things; rather, that people do. We do not cover the products they launch or the news they report, but the power they wield and how they use it. For almost four decades, we've chronicled the personalities that define media, technology and finance. We're looking for an editor who can help deepen that franchise by closely following the major trends, the people behind them and connecting the dots for an affluent, educated readership.

You'll play a key role in executing Observer's power coverage, editing and assigning stories across media, tech and finance alongside a small roster of contributing writers. You'll work with our Contributors Editor to help recruit expert voices—founders, CEOs, investors, operators—to weigh in on the forces reshaping their industries.

You'll help expand our access to the people who matter and push coverage toward the classic Observer sensibility: sharp, knowing, focused on the stage rather than the performance. You'll use your relationships and news judgment to help position Observer as a publication power players want to talk to—whether that's an exclusive with a media executive navigating a crisis, a founder's first interview post-funding, or the profile that captures a rising executive before everyone else notices.

Track the most important news and trends in media, tech and finance and the people driving those moments

Assign and edit articles that chronicle the pulse of power in media, tech and finance

Help welcome new writers—some you know and trust, others you're willing to bet on—into Observer's ecosystem

Help identify and recruit leadership voices for expert commentary, in partnership with the Contributors Editor
