Rest of World: Editor, Middle East & Africa
Rest of World is hiring an editor to oversee its Africa and Middle East coverage, commissioning and publishing stories across formats regularly from the two regions. This position will manage two in-house reporters and freelance contributors, develop ideas to build our coverage of the two regions, and assign and edit a broad mix of stories based on the publication’s coverage areas. This role will be the creative engine for determining how we cover countries across Sub-Saharan Africa, North Africa, and the Middle East, and will be regularly called on to collaborate with our global distributed editorial team on ambitious projects. We’re looking for a well-rounded utility player who combines rigorous editing skills with a background, or strong interest in, tech and business journalism.
