Job Summary: Editor for our Policy & Issues Team

The Star Tribune is looking for an editor who can drive ambitious and enterprising coverage of the impact of government policies, legislation, court rulings and state and local agency practices on the daily lives of Minnesotans. This is a high-profile role in our News & Politics department, directing our coverage of topics such as transportation, social services, and key state and county agencies.

You will:

  • Be relentlessly audience centric. Ensure that reporters and others on your team are developing and implementing data- and audience-informed coverage plans for their topic areas.
  • Be enterprising and entrepreneurial. Our readers most value news and insightful reporting not seen elsewhere.
  • Collaborate with the News & Politics Editor, its Deputy Editor and other news leaders to determine daily, weekly and ongoing coverage strategies across multiple platforms.
  • Collaborate closely with the Star Tribune's Audience, Product, Consumer Growth and Revenue teams to ensure our journalism reaches its widest audience, and adhere to best practices around analytics, search and discovery.
  • Engage with community leaders, citizens and subscribers at forums and other events, articulating how the Star Tribune lives its journalistic mission and values.
  • Demonstrate leadership skills that emphasize respectful inclusion while driving for excellence.
  • Effectively recruit, hire and train for a broad range of skillsets.
  • Lead and deliver transformational edits as needed on major initiatives.
  • Enforce deadlines on stories from the quick turn to the long-range.
  • Work regularly from the Star Tribune's downtown headquarters.

Qualifications:

  • A bachelor's degree in journalism or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and work-related experience.
  • Sharp editorial judgment and the ability to work with reporters who have a wide range of experience on the beat - serving as a coach, manager and guide in a constantly changing news environment.
  • A commitment to using 21st century digital tools, tracking and analyzing online audience trends and building strategies to engage readers.
  • Management skills that foster a creative and supportive culture.
  • Communication and collaboration skills to work across a matrixed organization.
  • Ability to meet deadlines, prioritize assignments, track budgets and multitask in a high-pressure environment.
  • A commitment to the Star Tribune's standards, mission and values, including journalism that reflects the diversity of Minnesota and the Star Tribune's audience.

To apply:
Please upload a resume and a memo describing how you would approach the opportunity to build on our current coverage, and why you are the best person for the position.

Pay for this position starts at $89,300 a year, based on the H-scale level in the contract of the Minnesota Newspaper and Communications Guild.
