Deputy Editor, Future Perfect
Vox Media的员工在创新和变化中茁壮成长，积极追求在各自领域中掌握专业知识、提升技艺并改善社区。我们帮助聪明、有才华、富有创造力的专业人士在媒体、技术和周围世界产生有意义的影响。
我们的Future Perfect板块是实现这一使命特别令人兴奋的地方。Future Perfect通过一个特定的视角来报道世界：在当今世界，最好的行善方式是什么？受有效利他主义的启发和影响，Future Perfect致力于关注那些被忽视的故事，这些故事对数十亿人类和动物的生活将产生深远影响。
Vox正在寻找一位Future Perfect的副编辑。我们需要一位能够主动推进Future Perfect日常报道的人员，负责管理我们的自由撰稿人项目，并编辑和管理三位作家：Sigal Samuel、Kenny Torrella和Marina Bolotnikova。该职位还将协助Future Perfect编辑整体管理该板块及其员工，在板块编辑不在时与另一位副编辑共同负责该板块的运营。这是一个永久性的全职岗位。

- 动物福利和工厂化养殖
- 进步研究的发展以及可以促进可持续增长的证据为基础的政策
- 人工智能和生物技术的前沿
- 慈善和利他主义的哲学与实践，以及支撑个人和政策选择的道德和伦理问题。
自2018年推出以来，Future Perfect因其独特的、以使命为导向的新闻报道方式而拥有了忠实的读者群。我们的报道由一个基本问题驱动：什么才是真正重要的需要报道的内容——不是新闻热点，不是Twitter上的趋势，而是我们认为真正关乎人类和动物生活及未来的新闻？然后我们立即着手去报道这些故事。
你将负责：
- 管理和编辑三位专职作家——征求创意、选定选题、编辑稿件并推动他们在Vox Media的职业发展。他们的关注点包括伦理、AI安全与政策、动物福利和工厂化养殖，以及住房和科学等领域的有效政策制定。
- 编辑我们的双周通讯《Processing Meat》，撰写内容

Vox Media employees thrive on innovation and change while ambitiously seeking to master their subject areas, hone their craft, and improve their communities. We help smart, talented, creative professionals make a meaningful impact in media, technology, and the world around them.
Our Future Perfect section is an especially exciting place for that mission to come alive. Future Perfect covers the world through a particular prism: What are the best ways to do good in this world? Inspired and informed by effective altruism, Future Perfect strives to shine a light on neglected stories that have, or will have, a profound impact on the lives of billions of humans and animals.
Vox is looking for a deputy editor for Future Perfect. We want a self-starter who will help drive daily coverage on Future Perfect, oversee our freelance program, and edit and manage three of our writers: Sigal Samuel, Kenny Torrella and Marina Bolotnikova. This person will also assist the Future Perfect editor in overall management of the section and its staff, and will run the section in conjunction with their fellow deputy editor when the section editor is absent. This is a permanent full-time staff position.
Among our key subject areas include:
- Global poverty and public health
- The catastrophic and existential threats, both natural and technological, that humanity faces
- Animal welfare and factory farming
- The growth of progress studies and evidence-based policies that can boost sustainable growth for all
- The frontiers of artificial intelligence and biotechnology
- The philosophies and practices surrounding philanthropy and altruism, and the moral and ethical questions that underpin individual and policy choices.
Since its launch in 2018, Future Perfect has developed a loyal following for its idiosyncratic, mission-driven approach to news. Our coverage is animated by a baseline question: what’s truly important that we need to cover -- not what’s in the news, not what’s trending on Twitter, but the stories that we think truly matter for human and animal lives and the future? Then we go ahead and do those stories today.
What you'll do:
- Manage and edit three staff writers — soliciting ideas, selecting stories, editing text and managing their advancement at Vox Media. Their focuses include ethics, AI safety and policy, animal welfare and factory farming, and effective policymaking in areas like housing and science.
- Editing our biweekly newsletter on Processing Meat, written by Kenny Torrella
- Assist the Future Perfect editorial director in setting and keeping priorities, both daily and over the medium and long term projects — especially in the area of agriculture and animal welfare — and stepping in to help lead the staff as a whole when he is away
- Commission and edit occasional pieces for the Future Perfect site
What you’ll bring:
- Minimum 5 years’ experience editing, or equivalent
- Strong managerial philosophy and communication skills; previous management experience is desirable but not a requirement
- A passion for mentoring, managing and editing writers
- A demonstrated ability to bring analysis and sharp angles to news stories, as well as well as skill with handling collaborations with audio and video teams
- An understanding of the importance of careful editing, coupled with the ability to build and shepherd big ideas
- Experience in and enthusiasm for diving into research literature, particularly in economics, psychology, sociology, political science, biology/medicine, and computer science is desirable
To apply, please submit a résumé, cover letter, and 3-5 clips that you’ve edited or written (clips can either be linked in your cover letter or included as additional pages to your cover letter).
In your one-page cover letter, please be sure to address the following questions: What appeals to you about working at Vox’s Future Perfect? What’s your management and mentoring philosophy for working with writers?
If you think you have what it takes, but don't meet every single point in our job posting, please apply with a cover letter to let us know how you believe you can bring your unique skills to the Vox Media team or get in touch! We’ve hired chefs who became editors, DJs who became UX designers, and sommeliers who became writers.
