Production Editor for Leading National Security Media Outlet
6 days ago
War on the Rocks, the flagship publication of Metamorphic Media, is looking for a detail-oriented, process-focused, and obsessively organized professional who is committed to the clear communication of sophisticated ideas about international security. This is a full-time position that is ideal for someone who has a background in national security, broadly defined. Please note this is not a remote position. We have a hybrid schedule of three days in the office a week. As such, we will only consider candidates who live in the Washington, DC metro area or who are willing to relocate there.
The Position
Our production editor will be responsible for coordinating and orchestrating our editorial output at War on the Rocks so that it is a symphony rather than a cacophony. Every week we publish a slew of articles, podcasts, and newsletters related to strategy, defense, and foreign affairs. This role is essentially for a project manager who can also edit.

Before you apply, please (a) listen to this podcast by our founder, Ryan Evans, "10 Years of War on the Rocks," (b) read this article, also by Ryan Evans, which we published several years ago, "The Hard and Lovely Things About War on the Rocks."
In your cover letter, please include an amusing story about yourself.
