Cannabis Florida Editor Jobs

POLITICO’s mission from the very beginning was to win the audience. We dedicate ourselves to providing accurate, non-partisan, impactful information to the right people at the right time so that they can act with confidence and speed. We experiment to avoid being disrupted and we have fun disrupting others. And we are not afraid to risk failure if it means being the best at what we do.

POLITICO is seeking an enterprising, creative and collaborative editor to oversee our policy and politics coverage in Florida, the nation’s fourth largest economy. The editor will lead an ambitious team of reporters covering Florida politics and state policymaking in health care, education, energy, environment and regulated industries including cannabis. If the editor is not based in Tallahassee, she or he must be able to travel there regularly during post-pandemic times, particularly during the Florida legislative session.

What you'll do:

• Run a team of high-energy reporters
• Edit a mix of full-length articles and short pieces, both breaking news and enterprise, plus newsletters
• Work with other editors across the newsroom to identify and produce stories with broader reach that connect the dots among the world’s power centers

What you'll need:

• Strong management skills and an active, hands-on approach to editing
• Knowledge of Florida politics and how it connects to the broader national political scene
• Experience breaking news on policy and/or working with reporters to tell policy stories
• Polished writing and editing skills
• Ability to guide and develop an ambitious team with varying levels of experience
• Ability to juggle tight deadlines and a demanding schedule
• A rigorous commitment to fair-minded, nonpartisan journalism

We are driven by our values. We are relentless contributors, disruptors, collaborators, and talent cultivators. Our culture is defined by grit, total integrity, and a prioritization on innovation.

We value our people. We offer a competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits package, including health and wellness benefits, commuter benefits, retirement plans, as well as work-life balance flexibility and opportunities for career development.
