Insider is hiring a news editor to join the UK newsroom and help run the UK news division.

As a news editor, you will manage and work closely with a team of UK-based news reporters, and also collaborate with our other bureaus around the world.

• Proven experience covering and editing news stories for a digital publication
• Great news judgement 
• Experience working at speed
• Excellent editing, writing and communication skills
• Meticulous attention to detail
• A strong sense of what makes a great story
• A grasp of analytics and confidence using it to inform story choices
• A desire to work collaboratively with the team in the UK as well as reporters and editors from the wider global newsroom
