CNN is seeking a senior international editor to join its Asia-Pacific headquarters in Hong Kong to take a leading role in helping to shape the world’s biggest and most important stories.

This is a role for an ambitious and experienced editor with outstanding news judgment, excellent communication skills, and a passion for breaking news and distinctive features.

Reporting to the Director of News, you’ll work as part of a diverse, highly-collaborative team of digital-first journalists, deftly coordinating daily news assignments and the flow of information to deliver smart, accessible stories for a growing cross-platform global audience.

You’ll have proven high-level editing skills and the ability to distill complex ideas, bringing a deep understanding of international affairs, as well as an eye for emerging trends.

This is a newsroom leadership role that requires calmness under pressure. As Senior News Editor you will help steer the agenda during major breaking news – from terror attacks to natural disasters – responding in real-time to unexpected developments and making decisive editorial decisions.

You will have a broad portfolio and will be expected to move between reactive and proactive depending on the situation, executing detailed coverage plans around major upcoming events; commissioning, editing, framing, and writing editorial content for all of CNN’s platforms; taking a lead in crafting innovative distinctive features; ensuring all journalism produced adheres to CNN standards and integrity; and communicating across teams on multi-region news and investigative projects.

Though the role is located in Asia-Pacific, you will be working as part of a global, 24/7 digital-first cross-platform leadership team, providing a key editorial link between CNN’s US, Europe, Middle East and Africa operations, and deputizing for the Director of News when needed.

Qualifications & Experience:

A minimum of 8 years of editing experience for leading digital-first outlets

A proven track record of editing major breaking news; superior news judgement; and the ability to deliver in a highly pressurized, deadline driven environment

Exceptional planning and organizational skills with a demonstrable track record of executing detailed digital-first coverage plans

Heightened ability to identify news as it breaks – be it through sources, Dataminr, news wires, etc – and pivot accordingly

Experience conceiving and producing distinctive features and/or investigative works

Experience in managing others, setting editorial priorities and coordinating between teams and across time zones

A passion for news and a deep knowledge of international affairs

The ability to think in headlines and smart framings, while considering the intended audience

College degree or equivalent industry experience

Perfect grasp of written and spoken English

Enthusiasm, flexibility and a desire to foster a collaborative and inclusive work environment

A strong desire to make CNN’s coverage reflective of the world we cover and ensuring all journalism produced adheres to CNN standards and integrity
