News Editor

Insider is hiring a news editor to join the UK newsroom and help run the UK news division.

As a news editor, you will manage and work closely with a team of UK-based news reporters, and also collaborate with our other bureaus around the world.

On an average day, you could expect to assign and edit stories on a wide range of topics, from the war in Ukraine to US politics to natural disasters.

The editor will be comfortable with a range of stories - from breaking news to analysis and features - and juggling multiple responsibilities. They should be prepared to write stories themselves on occasion.

We’re looking for someone with a passion for the daily news cycle and a knack for telling stories in a relatable and compelling way. They are also a self-starter with tons of fresh ideas as well as a skilled manager, capable of working with experienced and more junior staff. 

This role will be varied, fast-paced, and will require you to coordinate with Insider's global news team.

The ideal candidate also has:

  • Proven experience covering and editing news stories for a digital publication
  • Great news judgement 
  • Experience working at speed
  • Excellent editing, writing and communication skills
  • Meticulous attention to detail
  • A strong sense of what makes a great story
  • A grasp of analytics and confidence using it to inform story choices
  • A desire to work collaboratively with the team in the UK as well as reporters and editors from the wider global newsroom

Are you passionate about this opportunity, but worried that you don’t have 100% of the experience we’re looking for? We still want to hear from you! Apply online and let us know why you would make a great addition to the Insider community.
