Deputy Editor Future Perfect

Vox Media employees thrive on innovation and change while ambitiously seeking to master their subject areas, hone their craft, and improve their communities. We help smart, talented, creative professionals make a meaningful impact in media, technology, and the world around them. Our Future Perfect section is an especially exciting place for that mission to come alive. Future Perfect covers the world through a particular prism: What are the best ways to do good in this world? Inspired and informed by effective altruism, Future Perfect strives to shine a light on neglected stories that have, or will have, a profound impact on the lives of billions of humans and animals. Vox is looking for a deputy editor for Future Perfect. We want a self-starter who will help drive daily coverage on Future Perfect, oversee our freelance program, and edit and manage three of our writers: Sigal Samuel, Kenny Torrella and Marina Bolotnikova. This person will also assist the Future Perfect editor in overall management of the section and its staff, and will run the section in conjunction with their fellow deputy editor when the section editor is absent. This is a permanent full-time staff position. Among our key subject areas include: - Global poverty and public health - The catastrophic and existential threats, both natural and technological, that humanity faces - Animal welfare and factory farming - The growth of progress studies and evidence-based policies that can boost sustainable growth for all - The frontiers of artificial intelligence and biotechnology - The philosophies and practices surrounding philanthropy and altruism, and the moral and ethical questions that underpin individual and policy choices. Since its launch in 2018, Future Perfect has developed a loyal following for its idiosyncratic, mission-driven approach to news. Our coverage is animated by a baseline question: what’s truly important that we need to cover -- not what’s in the news, not what’s trending on Twitter, but the stories that matter most.
