Newsweek is the global media organization that has earned audience time and trust for more than 90 years. Newsweek reaches 100 million people each month with thought-provoking news, opinion, images, graphics, and video delivered across a dozen print and digital platforms. Headquartered in New York City, Newsweek also publishes international editions in EMEA and Asia.

Newsweek is seeking a Foreign Editor to lead international news and foreign affairs coverage from our UK-based digital newsroom, targeting a U.S. audience.

This role is responsible for ensuring Newsweek's global coverage is driven not simply by what is happening around the world, but by what matters most to American readers. The successful candidate will shape coverage of global events through a distinctly American lens, identifying and developing stories that connect international developments to U.S. interests, politics, security, business and culture. They will help audiences understand how events abroad affect America and its place in the world, delivering journalism that is authoritative, insightful and relevant to the lives and concerns of our readers.

Reporting to the News Director, London Bureau, this senior leadership role combines people management, editorial strategy, commissioning and hands-on editing to deliver high-impact journalism that distinguishes Newsweek from competitors.

The Foreign Editor will lead a team comprising reporters based in London and New York. They will be responsible for setting clear editorial priorities, coaching reporters to improve performance, developing talent and ensuring the team consistently meets ambitious production, audience and quality targets.

The successful candidate will use audience insights, reporting expertise and strong editorial judgement to identify opportunities for original journalism, exclusives, interviews and enterprise reporting. They will challenge and support reporters to develop distinctive angles on global news stories, ensuring Newsweek delivers coverage that is authoritative, insightful and differentiated in a highly competitive news environment.

The Foreign Editor will embrace the opportunities presented by AI and automation technologies while maintaining the highest editorial, legal and ethical standards. They will be agile and innovative, continuously seeking new ways to improve newsroom performance, grow audiences, and enhance the quality of Newsweek's journalism.

They will be responsible for ensuring high-quality coverage that is accurate, fair, and conforms to accepted standards of journalism. They will also perform any other reasonable duties necessary to meet the needs of the business.

This is a full-time role working 5 days a week. Weekend shifts will be required on a rotational basis. Working times on weekdays are typically 7am to 4pm and on weekends 8am to 5pm.

You may work from home anywhere in the UK or from our London, Canary Wharf office.
