Beyond our award-winning News and Opinions teams, we work across many departments, including Brand & Events, Communications, Customer Care, Engineering & Product, Finance, Human Resources, Legal, Marketing & Advertising, Print Operations, and Sales.
The Washington Post is seeking a strategic, creative and collaborative leader to serve as Manager, News Video, helping drive how our journalism reaches audiences across social and video platforms.
This role sits at the center of The Post's off-platform strategy, overseeing a team of social video editors responsible for producing engaging, platform-native journalism for YouTube, Instagram, TikTok and other emerging platforms. The Manager, News Video will lead editorial strategy, programming and execution, ensuring our video journalism reaches audiences wherever they consume news while upholding The Post's standards for accuracy, creativity and innovation.

The cover letter should be addressed to Department Head, Off-Platform Strategy Keely Diven and Managing Editor Bryan Flaherty.
The salary range for this role is $110,000 - $160,000.
