  • The editing chops to guide, shape, and polish stories to meet Boston Globe standards
  • Organizational skills and the ability to handle multiple responsibilities on tight deadlines
  • Excellent news judgment, along with a sense for the stories and angles that will grab readers and drive engagement
  • Subject matter expertise in the arts and entertainment; familiarity with the Boston arts scene a plus
  • A willingness to adapt and be audience-focused, with a curious mindset and a commitment to creating an inclusive work environment

Please submit a resume and cover letter that details your relevant experience and includes links to three published stories/packages you edited that demonstrate your skills.
