Design · Full-time · MS, United States · Remote possible
As the editor for Stacker Connect, you will edit submitted brand stories to meet Stacker editorial guidelines and follow those stories through the production process, including updating stories in the CMS after client review, to prepare them for syndication on our newswire. Reporting to the Head of Connect Editorial, you will edit coverage from a mix of for-profit orgs like Experian, SmartAsset, and Rocket Home, and nonprofit newsrooms such as The Marshall Project, The Hechinger Report, and Grist, helping produce an invaluable 3rd party newswire distributed to thousands of partner news outlets.
Our mission is to empower the world’s publishers. Stacker’s newswire serves over 3,000 local news partners, ranging from major networks like Hearst, McClatchy and Advance to hundreds of independent outlets. Composed of both in-house coverage and 3rd party coverage, the newswire helps complement the coverage of our publishing partners and engage their readers in new ways.

Stacker
Stacker is a new media company excited by the future of journalism. Every day, our efforts center on developing new and more sustainable ways to produce, distribute, and fund great storytelling that contextualizes our world and drives impact for news publishers big and small. We do this through a number of ways—from our tech-forward storytelling method and freely accessible newswire, to offering a structured avenue for non-publisher organizations to participate and contribute to quality journalism. Our ultimate mission is to empower the world’s publishers: through a commitment to provide free access to great storytelling and by championing innovation in how journalism is done, we enable our national- and local-scale publishing partners to engage their audiences and focus on their own original reporting. As a bootstrapped company, we’re a resourceful team focused on building an inclusive, equitable culture around shared values of integrity, ownership, and collaboration. Building for the future is reflected in the way we work: we are remote-first, embrace flexible schedules, and offer competitive benefits and perks including unlimited vacation, an employee equity program, heath & dental coverage, and 401(k) matching. We’re always looking for curious, media-minded thinkers to join the team. We encourage women, people of color, veterans, people with disabilities and gender nonconforming candidates to apply.
