About the role

We’re seeking a Supervising Editor to help shape the storytelling and vision for a forthcoming health & wellness product from CNN. Operating as a player-coach, you will oversee a team of writers and translate high-level editorial strategy directly into service-driven stories across text, audio, video, and interactive experiences. You’ll be involved in the creative process from pitch to publish, shaping the direction, angle, and outcome of every piece. The ideal candidate is a multidisciplinary storyteller who refuses to settle for the familiar and constantly pushes the team to find fresh, innovative angles.

Responsibilities

• Balance high-level editing and team management with hands-on writing and content creation when high-priority or complex stories demand it.
• Partner with the Executive Editor, Supervising Producer, and Senior Producers to translate high-level editorial strategy into individual story assignments.
• Manage, mentor, and direct a dedicated team of writers, shaping the storytelling, sharpening the angles, and providing rigorous, hands-on editing throughout the editorial process.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including editorial, social, audience development, and design.
• Ensure all content adheres to CNN’s journalistic integrity and reporting guidelines.

Requirements

• 7+ years of editorial experience in digital media, publishing, or a related field.
• Exceptional story judgment and a drive for originality, with a track record of generating fresh, non-derivative angles, and the ability to easily spot and sharpen a weak premise.
• Interest and/or experience in creating practical, highly actionable service journalism.
• Multidisciplinary content experience with an understanding of how to optimize storytelling across a variety of formats, specifically text, audio, video, and interactive digital experiences.
• Player-coach mentality with the demonstrated ability to toggle between developmental editing and hands-on writing when necessary.

Benefits

• Health insurance coverage
• Employee wellness program
• Life and disability insurance
• Retirement savings plan
• Paid holidays, sick time, and vacation
• Annual bonuses, short- and long-term incentives, and program-specific awards

Pay

Base pay range: $115,500.00 - $214,500.00 salary per year.
