We cover humanity’s biggest challenges, from climate change to global security, from pandemic preparedness to the future of democracy, and tell stories of the people trying to solve these challenges and the role science and technology can play—for good or ill. WIRED reaches more than 30 million people each month through WIRED.com, our digital edition, the magazine, social media, and live events. Job Description Location: London, GB Condé Nast is a global media company, home to iconic brands including Vogue , GQ , Glamour , CN Traveller , Vanity Fair , Wired , The World of Interiors , House & Garden and Tatler , among many others. We are headquartered in New York and London and operate in 32 markets worldwide, with a footprint of more than 1 billion consumers across print, digital, video and social platforms. Condé Nast thrives on collaboration, and our teams come together in the office four days a week (Monday - Thursday). We value diversity of background, views and cultures. We celebrate people for their personal qualities, skills and contributions, recognising the power our brands have to influence and shape culture. The Role We’re looking for a Deputy Editor to join WIRED . This is a key position within WIRED’s London office, requiring an experienced, collaborative and deeply invested editor to join our newsroom’s leadership team and help drive coverage across a range of subject areas. This role reports to WIRED’s Executive Editor and will work closely with our US-based directors and senior editors, as well as a team of reporters based in London. We’ll rely on WIRED’s Deputy Editor to identify newsworthy events and trends from across the UK and the EU, and to work with newsroom leadership to plan and execute coverage. You'll also be responsible for kickstarting the day - whether that means doing a final edit on a piece handed off from the West Coast overnight, publishing a breaking news story before the East Coast logs on, or consulting with the UK-based audience development team on the morning newsletter. This role will also work closely with our in-market revenue partners on commercial opportunities and events, and represent WIRED externally. The right candidate has extensive experience overseeing reporters and editors, and working on both sensitive and fast-paced stories. You will have a background editing in at least two of WIRED’s core coverage areas and be capable of assigning and editing stories across our full remit. A strong roster of freelance contributors across the UK and EU is a major plus, as is significant experience in digital publishing, including social media and newsletter strategy. You should be as enthusiastic about working with partners on the business side to support WIRED’s financial health as you are about working within the newsroom to ensure editorial excellence. The ideal candidate is also adept at working across time zones, as WIRED’s newsroom is fully integrated from San Francisco to London. This is a role for a highly motivated editor with excellent editorial judgement and strong people skills - a leader who can galvanise and inspire a team. You should have an unerring nose for news, a sharp sense of what makes a story compelling, a love of big ideas, wide-ranging curiosity and a commitment to making everything you touch better. What will you be doing? Act as WIRED’s on-the-ground newsroom leader for the UK-based team, including reporters, and serve as a key point of contact for audience development, social, operations and creative teams based in the London office. Kickstart the day before US-based teams log on, including finalising and publishing drafts, assigning breaking news coverage, and collaborating with audience development and creative teams on time-sensitive matters. Act as WIRED’s eyes and ears across the UK and the EU, identifying newsworthy events and trends of interest to both local and global audiences, and collaborating with newsroom leadership on coverage. Manage and deploy a freelance budget to strengthen WIRED’s coverage of regional events, with a focus on stories that resonate with US and global audiences. Work closely with WIRED’s Executive Editor, directors and global editorial director on overall newsroom strategy, personnel management and coverage strategies for the UK and the EU. Represent WIRED externally, including at events, with advertisers and in the press. Foster a collaborative and engaged environment in WIRED’s UK office, providing on-the-ground support and guidance while liaising closely with line managers to ensure coordinated leadership. About you At least 10 years’ experience reporting and editing in fast-paced digital newsrooms, including a minimum of 5 years in a management role. Experience editing both breaking news and enterprise reporting in at least two of WIRED’s core coverage areas (consumer tech, science, business, security, politics and online culture), with enthusiasm for the full breadth of WIRED’s coverage. A strong track record of news judgement for publications with a global audience. The ability to collaborate effectively with reporters, editors, audience development teams, designers and external partners across a media organisation. A strong understanding of media businesses and revenue, including experience working with internal commercial partners, advertisers and on event execution.
