Americas Live Pages Editor

We are seeking an experienced journalist based on the West Coast for Reuters Live Pages.

About The Role

Coordinate with reporters around the world to cover the biggest stories—political, business, entertainment and general news—wherever they occur, and be prepared to pivot quickly as news breaks.

Bring ideas, energy, and enthusiasm to a versatile cross-discipline team.

Relish the challenge of helping grow Live Coverage as a core part of the Reuters newsroom.

Use a diverse mix of storytelling formats, including photos, videos, graphics, social media posts, podcasts, and text.

Ensure our pages are engaging and conversational but authoritative, accurate and impartial, taking care with presentation to make them look polished on both desktop and mobile.

Work closely with the digital team and bureaus to plan for future Live Pages and prepare material for them.

Use audience insights and performance data to inform daily decisions.

Manage Live Pages that began in other regions during their dayside hours as well as launching new Live Pages for events that occur within the dayside hours of the Americas, before handing over to the Asia-based team when they start theirs.

Be a team player who shares your own skillsets, acquires those of others, and helps coach and develop more junior team members.
