About the role
POLITICO is seeking a social media editor to expand our North American social media reach across Instagram, TikTok, X, LinkedIn and emerging channels. The role focuses on off-platform growth and driving business goals through data-informed, multimedia storytelling.
The candidate will work with newsroom leaders, reporters, and producers to develop social-first video projects and ensure newsroom workflows reflect best practices. A schedule outside normal hours may be required.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
