BuzzFeed & HuffPost
In 2021, BuzzFeed acquired HuffPost, a leading source of news and commentary for the most diverse and connected generation ever. HuffPost believes in putting people before power and telling the stories that too often go unheard, from the voices that matter. With this acquisition, BuzzFeed's scale, engagement and cultural impact will be unrivaled.
The Role
HuffPost UK is looking for an experienced editor to lead its politics team and build on our strong legacy of agenda-setting political reporting.
The ideal candidate will come with an impressive contacts book and have a proven record of breaking stories that cut-through the noise of Westminster.

You Will
• Manage the HuffPost UK politics team and coverage
• Land scoops and write stories that create impact
• Oversee the strategy of HuffPost UK's political reporting
• Serve as a public face for HuffPost UK in the media
• Contribute coverage ideas across the newsroom
• Be a part of HuffPost multimedia products (ie, podcasts)
You Have
• Proven experience working in senior roles in political or news journalism
• History of leading a team, preferably at a national news publisher
• Demonstrated a commitment to covering issues of race and diversity
• Passion for management and mentorship of newsroom talent
