The Oregonian/OregonLive seeks an experienced editor to lead our Express and Public Safety news teams, which sit at the center of our daily news operation. You’ll oversee a wide range of coverage, from breaking crime and community news to deeply reported enterprise stories, and you’ll help reporters and editors shift smoothly between the two depending on the news of the day.
 
The salary range for this position is $75,000 to $95,000 per year, depending on experience.
 
You’ll lead a talented mix of early-career and deeply experienced journalists, including supervisors. You’ll set the tone for fast, accurate, iterative coverage — and you’ll also create the conditions for ambitious enterprise reporting that grows out of the daily report.
 
What you’ll be doing: 
Drive daily reporting: Assign, edit and publish breaking news with speed, accuracy and strong news judgment; guide iterative updates as stories develop.
 
Steer enterprise and accountability: Coach reporters and editors to identify the stories that merit deeper digging and help them deliver long-term work with clear lines of effort and smart pacing.
 
Manage and develop people: Coach individual reporters (from new to veteran) to draw out their best work; provide direct feedback that improves reporting, writing, sourcing and story framing.
 
Lead through others: Partner with and develop other team supervisors; align expectations and help them become stronger managers.
 
Champion experimentation: Encourage smart risk-taking in story forms, workflows and how we convey information to readers — including responsible, effective use of AI and emerging tools to improve our journalism and speed.
 
Raise the bar on public safety coverage: Ensure our journalism reflects high standards, strong verification and a public-service mindset — especially in moments that matter most to readers.
 
Our ideal candidate will have the following: 
A bachelor’s degree in journalism or communications, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.
 
5+ years of professional newsroom experience, with 3 years leadership experience supervising or leading others
 
Prior management experience with a track record of coaching journalists to do their best work.
 
Demonstrated ability to edit both long-term enterprise and iterative breaking news — and to switch gears quickly.
 
Strong news judgment and a clear sense for stories: what matters now, what will matter next, and what deserves more attention.
 
Calm, confident leadership in fast-moving situations; high standards for accuracy, fairness and urgency.
 
A strong understanding of public records law and data — and how they can elevate both breaking and enterprise coverage.
 
Comfort experimenting with new tools and formats, including thoughtful use of AI and other emerging technologies.
 
Experience managing other managers is a plus.
 
What success looks like: 
Readers get the first and best version of major breaking stories — and our coverage grows smarter, deeper and more useful as it iterates.
 
Reporters and editors feel coached, challenged and supported, with clear expectations and real development.
 
The team consistently generates enterprise that originates from beat knowledge and daily reporting.
 
We identify and adopt best practices quickly, and we’re open to new ways of telling stories and delivering information.
