Job Details

POLITICO Europe is looking for an experienced editor to join our health care team and lead a group of journalists covering the coronavirus pandemic and beyond. The post is a busy, hands-on editing job overseeing POLITICO’s subscription Pro Health Care service and working with reporters across the newsroom to bring stories on the policy and politics of health care to life.  

The ideal candidate will have a strong interest in EU policymaking, sharp editing skills and proven leadership abilities. At a crucial time in health care journalism, we’re looking for a highly motivated person to head an ambitious group of reporters breaking news on topics from the latest vaccine developments through to EU pharmaceutical regulation and digital health. 

Nurturing less-experienced reporters and motivating seasoned journalists is part of the gig, as is thinking big about coverage and finding new ways to drive the public conversation. The job, centered in Brussels, will involve close coordination with reporters in London, Paris, Berlin and other European centers, as well as the U.S.

Qualifications

  • Experienced editor; 
  • knowledge of European politics and policy; 
  • strong English-language writing and editing skills; 
  • ability to work under pressure and on deadline; 
  • leadership skills; 
  • knowledge of other European languages is a plus. 

Equal Opportunity  

It is POLITICO's policy to provide equal employment opportunity to all qualified individuals without regard to race, color, religion, national origin, gender, age or any other characteristic protected by local laws and regulations.

Company

POLITICO is a global news and information company at the intersection of politics and policy.

With publications based in Washington, D.C., New York and Brussels - and continued expansion into various state capitals in the United States - POLITICO has one of the most robust and rapidly expanding roster of journalists covering politics and policy in the world.

Since its launch in 2007, POLITICO has delivered journalism about politics and policy making that is more authoritative in its sophistication and nonpartisan perspective than any competitor; that is more useful to people with a professional interest in public affairs; and that is more fun to read for a community of people who love the drama and sheer sport of politics.

The central mission of POLITICO, from birth to our current period of growth, has been to help sustain and vastly expand nonpartisan political and policy journalism.

We all believe informing readers and holding leaders accountable is and will forever be essential to smart governance, regardless of shifts in technology and consumption habits.
