Job Summary:

Are you curious about the future of Yellowstone? Do you have innovative ideas for how to climate-proof your backyard? We’re looking for a Senior Editor of Digital Features to shape thought-provoking pieces that engage new audiences with scientifically-sourced and history-rich storytelling.

This editing role leads the execution of content that gives context or a thought-provoking take on a trending topic, or enters conversation taking place in the zeitgeist with a big idea in a relevant and timely way. The editing is executed with a mobile audience in mind, strategically shaped by whatever the topic demands whether that be a short-form feature, social video, and at times, perhaps a long-form feature. Nevertheless, this conversation-worthy content will capture the spirit of curiosity and wonder that only National Geographic can deliver to its readers and followers.

The editor will spearhead story execution from planning through publication, pursuing content targeted for platform-specific audiences while also trying to reach new audiences. They will adhere to editorial standards that drive results and meet acquisition goals by being selective about story assignments, intentional with story structure, and creative in experimentation. They should have a keen understanding for how content is consumed on different digital platforms, and specifically how it should be optimized for Search and Social Media, including on social video platforms.

Meet weekly with Senior Manager of Digital Editorial for constant feedback on performance and what new topic areas or formats to experiment with
Coach junior editors on the digital team as necessary.

Minimum Requirements:

Minimum of 6 years of editorial experience in digital publishing
A strong background in editing with a broad knowledge of search engine optimization and a proven track record of irresistible headline writing are musts.
Experience editing conversation-worthy content and shaping stories around engaging ideas that drive new audiences; future-forward digital editing skills; experience using data-driving tools

Commitment to diversity and inclusion
Highly developed ability to recognize and create story ideas, including ideas with major visual and multimedia components
