Senior Editor

The Senior Editor plays a key role in planning and producing the weekly print product while contributing to daily and weekly digital publishing. Responsibilities include executing special publications, editing copy, recruiting and coordinating freelancers, and serving as primary backup to the Managing Editor. The Senior Editor is prepared to edit daily web stories as needed and helps shape the Business Journal’s social media presence.

In a multi-platform newsroom, the Senior Editor reformats, repurposes, and guides content across print and digital channels to maximize its impact. Through strong storytelling, layout direction, and concept development, the Senior Editor ensures the newsroom’s best reporting reaches its full potential. Experience with video, mobile and web formats is a plus as multimedia coverage continues to expand.

The Senior Editor also collaborates with other departments on awards publications, events, and cross‑departmental initiatives.
