Job Description
NBC News Digital is searching for an experienced newsroom leader to oversee our breaking news coverage as editorial director.
This is an opportunity to lead one of the best breaking news teams in the industry at a news organization with resources around the nation and world. We are looking for an ambitious and motivated journalist who wakes up every morning eager to win.
The editorial director will manage a team of about 20 reporters and editors in the US and London. The role of the breaking news team is to be the first to respond and react to a wide variety of events as they happen — including natural disasters, cultural trends, wars, crime, lawsuits, celebrity news, and major stories on other beats such as tech, health, business and international developments.
Critical to this role is impeccable news judgment — knowing our audience and knowing what to cover and what to leave behind. The ideal candidate will have experience driving reporting and directing editors and reporters to be proactive and break news on major storylines. You will be obsessive about keeping NBC News competitive on big stories and can keep your cool during fast-moving situations.
The breaking news director will start the day setting priorities and planning coverage and will take responsibility for the quality, planning and direction of the team’s work.
This person also needs to be a natural collaborator who coordinates with teams across the news organization — the Standards division, producers and correspondents, editorial units — to bring the full scope of NBC News’s reporting power onto the site.
We’re looking for an experienced manager who can effectively communicate across a large team and balance personnel priorities with editorial ones. You’ll be involved in setting editorial strategy and will know how to message that vision to the team. You should have a deep understanding of the competitive landscape and ideas on how to best position this team for success.
This position reports to the assistant managing editor for news and will be based in New York.
Other responsibilities:
Actively monitor sources of breaking news (Dataminr, social media, wires, internal communications, our competition), knowing which stories to prioritize and which to skip.
Edit clean, fast, and accurate copy, headlines, and photo and video captions.
Make full use of the range of NBC News resources, including network newsgathering and multimedia.
Vet story assignments to ensure they fit within the editorial vision for the team.
Review stories for fairness, accuracy and depth.
Lead and coach reporters and writers to help them meet editorial goals and work efficiently.
