London, United Kingdom Sifted Full time

Sifted is looking for a news editor to join our team covering the world of European startups and tech.


We’re looking for a creative, collaborative and decisive journalist who is full of ideas, knows how to make smart commissions and has a knack for getting the best out of writers.


It will be your job to decide what news Sifted covers — and what news we don’t cover. You’ll be all over our Slack channels, news inbox and social media, to ensure that Sifted never misses a big breaking story or controversy.


The successful candidate will play a big role in developing and growing the publication. You’ll also get to work closely with a friendly team of journalists with experience at outlets like the Financial Times, Fortune, Bloomberg, Politico, Dagens Industri and the BBC.


We strongly encourage applicants from underrepresented backgrounds to apply for this position.


About Sifted


Sifted is an award-winning new media platform, backed by the Financial Times, reporting on the world of technology and startups in Europe. Five years after launching, our high-quality journalism is a must-read for many founders, investors and people working in startups and scaleups across the continent.


We’re friendly, hard-working and passionate about what we do. We have a flat structure, collaborate across disciplines and everyone has an impact across many areas of the business. We value feedback, honesty and clear communication.


What will you be doing?


Reporting to our editor Amy Lewin, it will be your mission to ensure Sifted is always on top of (and making) industry news. You will commission and edit articles from our network of nine staff reporters based across Europe. You will also have time to report — and we want you to guard this time fiercely, as we believe the best editors are often also great reporters.


You must be good at making quick decisions and saying no. We want you to be highly selective in your commissions, thorough with your edits and generous in your feedback to writers to ensure only the highest quality writing is delivered to Sifted readers.


You will also manage and mentor several staff reporters, doing everything you can to help them develop their reporting, network and personal brand.


This is an important leadership role in the editorial team and, alongside the other editors, you will play a big part in setting the tone and direction of Sifted’s editorial coverage, and spirit of the newsroom.


Location


Sifted (and half of its editorial team) are based in Bracken House, the Financial Times’ office in central London. Half of our reporters are based in continental Europe. We ask all editors and reporters to come into the office at least two days per week.


Requirements


We’re looking for someone who has 3+ years’ editorial experience and has commissioned and worked with freelance reporters and external contributors. We want someone with fluent English, excellent attention to detail and an eye for a good story (and headline). We’re also keen to find someone who is up for writing the occasional piece and excited to work in an environment where things move fast and often change.


Benefits

  • Salary of £50-60k, dependent on experience
  • Shiny technical equipment — we’re a Mac shop generally, but are open to whatever suits your needs
  • A annual learning budget to spend on personal development
  • 28 days of annual leave plus local public holidays
