We are excited to announce that The Urbanist is hiring a Managing Editor to lead our publication. The Managing Editor will guide our coverage and editorial voice and uphold our standards for journalism. The Urbanist is an influential publication popular with policymakers and advocates, and this is a unique opportunity to influence the policy debate in Seattle, with victories often rippling around the region and the nation.
The Managing Editor would report to The Urbanist’s executive director and work with our talented team of volunteers. Experience mobilizing volunteer contributors would be a nice plus. It’s a part-time position at 20 hours per week, but we hope to add hours as funding allows.
The Managing Editor’s primary responsibility will be to edit articles before they are published on our site and help identify and develop stories for our team of writers to cover. As time allows, the managing editor would also pursue their own writing and reporting for our publication.
The Urbanist’s ability to make this hiring is thanks to the incredible support from our subscribers and donors. Our Spring 2021 Subscriber was a record-breaking success thanks to their inspiring generosity. Thank you so much to our community of supporters and readers. If you’d like to build on this momentum, please consider subscribing or making a donation today.
