Join the future of news

We’re on a mission to deliver riveting storytelling for all of America. At The Washington Post, you’ll help reinvent news. Our work is driven by a deep investigative spirit and enhanced by innovation to bring audiences closer to the stories that matter most.

About Our Team

The Washington Post is powered by the passion and talent of our people. It takes all of us to reinvent news. Beyond our award-winning Newsroom and Opinions teams, we work across many departments, including Brand & Events, Communications, Customer Care, Engineering & Product, Finance, Human Resources, Legal, Marketing & Advertising, Print Operations, and Sales.

Why This Role Matters

The Washington Post is seeking an ambitious, collaborative and technically skilled journalist to join our Graphics team as a Graphics Assignment Editor.

This role is for an experienced visual journalist who excels at conceiving graphics-led stories, shaping the work of others and driving high impact work that engages a broad audience and is unique to the Post.

We are looking for someone with strong editorial instincts, news judgement, technical fluency and a sophisticated understanding of how visual storytelling drives and informs our readership. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced environment, can move seamlessly between overseeing both breaking news and enterprise work and is energized by collaboration across disciplines. This role requires both creativity and flexibility — someone equally comfortable building a data visualization, shaping an interactive project or helping edit graphics coverage during high-pressure news moments.

This position is based in our Washington, D.C., newsroom.

What Motivates You:

You are driven to make complex stories clear, engaging and visually compelling.

You enjoy identifying stories best told through data visualization, maps or interactive experiences.

You are energized by driving story ideas, seamlessly leading multiple projects and overseeing ambitious stories from inception to completion.

You thrive in a collaborative newsroom environment and enjoy solving editorial and technical challenges.

You are curious about emerging storytelling formats and eager to push visual journalism forward.

Encourage and empower reporters to develop innovative techniques, work more efficiently, and grow professionally.

How You’ll Support the Mission:

Pitch, assign and edit visual-first stories in coordination with newsroom priorities across breaking news, politics, policy, business and other major coverage areas.

Edit stories for clarity, accuracy, storytelling impact and visual refinement in alignment with newsroom audience goals.

Contribute to breaking news coverage with fast, accurate and engaging graphics that explain a uniquely visual angle.

Mentor and support visual journalists through thoughtful editing, feedback and collaborative problem-solving.

Help strengthen team processes, contribute to best practices and support a collaborative team culture.

The Skills and Experiences You Bring:

At least 5-8 years of editing experience in visual journalism, graphics, data reporting or a related field.

Strong news judgment and the ability to identify stories where graphics are visually distinctive, meaningfully advance a story, drive readership and reinforce The Post’s mission.

A thoughtful approach to delivering feedback as part of the editing process.

A strong portfolio of maps, information graphics and visual stories for digital audiences.

Ability to balance speed and ambition, such as contributing to breaking news while developing and meeting deadlines on enterprise work.

Excellent communication skills and a collaborative approach to newsroom work.

A commitment to accuracy, clarity, accessibility and journalistic rigor.

Interested candidates should upload a résumé, cover letter and portfolio to our jobs portal. Cover letters should be addressed to Interim Graphics Director Maureen Linke and Head of Visuals Soo-Jeong Kang.

The pay range for this position is $109,200 - $182,000. The actual starting salary for this position will depend on individual skills, experience and qualifications as they relate to specific job requirements.

Collaboration makes us stronger. That’s why our offices are designed with open layouts, modern technology, and easy access to transportation. With certain exceptions for newsgathering and business travel, we work on-site five days a week.

Compensation and Benefits

Wherever you are in your life or career, The Washington Post offers comprehensive and inclusive benefits for every step of your journey:

Competitive medical, dental and vision coverage
Company-paid pension and 401(k) match
Three weeks of vacation and up to three weeks of paid sick leave
Nine paid holidays and two personal days
20 weeks paid parental leave for any new parent
Robust mental health resources
Backup care and caregiver concierge services
Gender affirming services
Pet insurance
Free Post digital subscription
Leadership and career development programs

Benefits may vary based on the job, full-time or part-time schedule, location, and collectively bargained status.
