Managing Editor, Daily Desk

The Athletic is hiring a managing editor for our newly launched Daily Desk, who will focus on leading news coverage across much of our report. The desk works across the newsroom to strengthen the quality of our everyday journalism and to seize on opportunities throughout the sports world for compelling stories. It is staffed from early in the North America day to late in the North America night, and bridges with our team in London to give us 24/7 coverage. Successful candidates must have a mastery of news judgment and coordination to launch on stories on a wide range of subjects in sports. They will work with individual sport verticals to plan and assess coverage and with colleagues on the Daily Desk to position us well for key moments and the most important stories.
