Since 1954, The Texas Observer, headquartered in Austin, has specialized in fearless, award-winning investigative reporting and great writing about the strangest state in the Union. We are seeking a managing editor with a passion for long-form narrative journalism and a demonstrated ability to make editorial trains run on time. The ideal candidate will be widely read and insatiably curious, work well on a small staff of hard-driving but amiable reporters and editors, and possess an excellent sense of humor. The managing editor oversees production of the magazine, manages and makes assignments to freelance reporters and writers, and has primary responsibility for the magazine’s Culture section. Some news writing and editing is also required, along with shorter online features and posts for TexasObserver.org.

To apply, please email your resume and cover letter, with the subject line “Managing Editor,” along with relevant clips, to [email protected].
