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, versatile journalist to serve as a D.C. Sports Reporter, with a focus on the Washington Commanders.

This role is designed for a reporter with a passion for, and experience at, unearthing stories that help readers better understand and connect with their local teams. Though the job will contain elements of a traditional NFL beat reporter, this reporter should be ready to help reimagine the role of a local beat reporter and to tell stories across other local sports.

What Motivates You

You believe deeply in the connection local sports fans have with their teams, and with the power of journalism to forge and animate that connection.
You are energized by the idea of expanding the definition of local sports journalism to reach new audiences.
You have a track record of balancing breaking news coverage with reported enterprise of various lengths and formats.
You are eager to experiment with storytelling formats and approaches.

How You’ll Support the Mission

Regularly produce distinct journalism that helps readers better understand the performance, culture and business of the Washington Commanders.
Contribute regularly to wider coverage of local sports, including stories about the business, politics and culture of local sports.
Report deeply and write stylishly, upholding the highest standards of accuracy, fairness and rigor.
Collaborate across The Post newsroom, including with journalists in Local, Politics, Features and Visuals.

The Skills and Experience You Bring

At least three years of experience reporting on local sports, with a strong track record of breaking news and enterprise storytelling.
Demonstrated ability to write clearly and authoritatively on deadline.
Experience working collaboratively across teams and a willingness to experiment.

This position will be based out of our Washington, D.C., headquarters.

Interested candidates should upload to our jobs portal: a résumé; three examples of their work (as PDFs); and a 500-word-or-less memo outlining how they would approach the job. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled, but those received by Jun. 25 will be prioritized. The cover letter should be addressed to Senior Editor Joe Tone, Local Editor Theresa Vargas and Managing Editor Kimi Yoshino.

The salary range for this position is $73,600 - $110,400. The actual starting salary within this range 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.
