The <a href="https://www.nytco.com/company/mission-and-values/" target="_blank">mission</a> of The New York Times is to seek the truth and help people understand the world. That means independent journalism is at the heart of all we do as a company. It’s why we have a world-renowned newsroom that sends journalists to report on the ground from nearly 160 countries.

</div>
</div></div>About the Role:
The Upshot is a versatile, multidisciplinary team in the New York Times newsroom whose mission is to help our readers understand the news — and to find new ways to explain the world we're living in.
We're looking for a data-savvy visual editor who will work with the entire Upshot desk on projects ranging from short news stories to long-term enterprise to interactive applications.
As a deputy editor, you will be part of the Upshot's leadership team, and you will influence everything we publish. Your role will involve both big-picture thinking. Sometimes, you will edit an entire story or project from conception through publication. Other times, you'll lend a hand in making sure a visual element is precise and pixel-perfect. You're someone who can create new formats to communicate with audiences, and who also enjoys sweating the details on making an individual chart better.
You are an editor who can help reporters think through how to analyze a dataset. You should develop intuitive (and counterintuitive) ways to tell stories through charts, graphics, and other formats. You should refine visual elements, stories, and projects with meticulousness and rigor. You should dream up entirely new ways of doing journalism.
The Upshot has a wide remit. It is the home of cutting-edge data visualization, detailed policy analysis, Nate Cohn's newsletter and standalone destinations like Wordle Bot and Spelling Bee Buddy. It covers a wide range of topics, including politics, policy, health care, cities, culture, education, gender, climate and more. And it is powered by a collaborative group of journalists, including reporters with decades of experience and some of our best software developers and data visualizers.
Together, they produce work like this:
