Billboard: Senior Digital Editor
Billboard is seeking a senior digital editor to join its New York newsroom. Candidate should be a news junkie, who has at least five years' experience as an editor in a fast-paced digital newsroom and be capable of assigning, polishing and fact-checking daily news stories and working with writers to report out unconfirmed stories. The senior digital editor we are seeking should have their finger on the pulse of mainstream pop culture, from hip-hop to TikTok to the Grammys, and be comfortable writing and editing across all genres.
The editor we are hiring needs a handle on the Billboard audience and what stories will likely resonate most, paying close attention to our traffic analytics, music charts and social engagement to make data-driven choices. Even bigger than the initial news stories are all the possible follow-up angles we should chase next. If there's not a writer to put on a breaking news story, this candidate should be able to tackle it themselves quickly and cleanly. Able to keep a level head in a high-pressure situation.
Weekend/evening work expected occasionally for awards shows and massive breaking news. The editor will also help curate the homepage and other key landing pages, and liaise with product team to fix website and publishing bugs.
What you'll do:
• Write, assign, fact-check and edit news stories
• Write grabby headlines
• Build stories in WordPress
• Monitoring traffic analytics, charts and social engagement
• Homepage curation
• Homepage changes
• Managing special digital projects (Fan Army, etc.)
We are seeking:
• 5 years' experience in fast-paced newsroom
• Obsessed with music and pop culture
• Detail-oriented and tech-savvy
• Cool under pressure
• Comfortable with WordPress
