This is a unique, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity: The California Post will bring The New York Post's DNA of powerful, agenda-setting journalism to the West Coast and be a fresh and fearless voice for common sense.
Our focus will also go well beyond hard-hitting news and iconoclastic opinion.

Our Tech team will reveal the latest innovators and innovations that will shape the nation's future.
Los Angeles is one of the great cities of the world, and it's time L.A. - and California at large - had a bold, new voice. The California Post will be that voice. California, here we come!
As part of this bold expansion into Los Angeles, we are looking for a Social Media Editor to join the California Post team. Reporting into the Senior Social Media Editor, this vital role will manage the day-to-day social presence of the California Post across platforms, ensuring our coverage is timely, deeply engaging, and tailored to maximize reach and impact.
The Social Media Editor will be responsible for publishing and scheduling posts across accounts, monitoring breaking news, and ensuring top stories are amplified with smart framing and creative execution. This role requires deep expertise in social media trends, analytics, and platform best practices, as well as the creativity to develop fresh ideas that grow engagement and strengthen brand presence.
The role will work closely with our content creators and senior editorial leaders to ensure all content finds the audience.
Application Instructions: Applicants should submit a cover letter or a short video cover letter. If submitting a video, please include a link to the video in your cover letter or as part of an additional document. We do not accept direct video file uploads.

In addition to compensation, the company provides eligible employees a comprehensive and highly competitive benefits package, with a variety of physical health, retirement and savings, caregiving, emotional wellbeing, transportation, and other benefits, including "elective" benefits employees may select to best fit the needs and personal situations of our diverse workforce.
