About the role
The U.S. Sun in New York is seeking a News Editor to lead fast-paced digital coverage from our Midtown Manhattan office. You will identify breaking national stories, edit, assign, and publish while guiding a growing newsroom with a strong editorial voice.
Ideal candidates have 5+ years of journalism, 2+ in editing, and a proven ability to mentor reporters, work with SEO and analytics, and maintain high standards under deadline pressure.
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.
