The Strategist is searching for an enterprising, creative, and rigorous editor to lead the site and guide its coverage. You will partner with New York’s deputy editor and editor in chief to set the direction of its coverage of the vast e-commerce universe. You will be the primary spokesperson for the brand, responsible for reaching existing and new audiences. You will oversee a staff of senior editors and writers and work closely with the commerce team to balance both the editorial direction as well as business needs of the site. You will be invited and expected to continue the Strategist’s tradition of deeply reported and useful and delightful (and sometimes a little sideways) service journalism, at once sharpening its identity and evolving it.
The Strategist is New York Magazine’s site for rigorously reported service journalism that helps readers shop smartly. Its writers and editors surface the stuff that is actually worth buying, alongside all sorts of things you never knew you needed.
The Strategist is part of Vox Media, the leading modern media company. We guide our audience from discovery to obsession. We inspire essential conversations about what’s now, what’s next, and what’s possible.
