Description:

Are you ready to shape the future of Jewish journalism? 70 Faces Media is seeking a visionary journalist to lead our combined news operation through one of the most transformative moments in digital journalism and serve as a leading voice on the Jewish issues of the day.

In this position, you will execute a bold new editorial vision for two of the most trusted names in Jewish journalism, transforming the New York Jewish Week into the most important and boldest voice in Jewish ideas, opinion, and cultural discourse, and ensuring the Jewish Telegraphic Agency serves as the most trusted and critical source of original reporting on the most important developments impacting the Jewish world.

You'll set a multi-platform news-and-opinion strategy and ensure our journalism is high quality, impactful and captures the complexity, urgency, and diversity of Jewish life in formats that resonate with today's audiences.

This role goes beyond traditional newsroom leadership. You'll architect a refreshed approach to news, analysis, ideas and opinion that thrives in the attention economy, creating compelling journalism and thought leadership that cuts through the noise of the digital information landscape. You'll shape how millions of people not just consume Jewish journalism, but think about and engage in Jewish life.

The ideal candidate will be both a thought leader and an editorial leader willing to roll up their sleeves as needed, who understands what readers actually want in this environment: not just information, but insight, context, and analysis that helps them make sense of a complex world. This means knowing which platforms work for different types of content and audiences, how to capture attention while delivering substance, and how to go beyond just reporting the news to helping audiences understand why it matters.

We're at an inflection point—both as an organization and as a Jewish community—navigating unprecedented challenges while journalism itself is being revolutionized by digital platforms and artificial intelligence. This role isn't just about managing content; it's about implementing highly compelling brand visions and pioneering the future of Jewish journalism and intellectual discourse across our platforms.

What You'll Do

• Transform the New York Jewish Week into the leading platform for Jewish ideas, opinion, and cultural discourse, serving the majority who seek heterodox voices between ideological extremes
• Further evolve JTA from a traditional wire service into a must-read direct source of groundbreaking enterprise reporting on urgent Jewish issues
• Set and execute a multi-platform editorial strategy that works across web, social media, newsletters, and video to reach and engage diverse audiences
• Develop signature editorial products, series, and formats that differentiate our brands and establish them as essential reading
• Lead and mentor talented newsroom teams, fostering a culture of creative risk-taking, innovation, and journalistic excellence
• Pioneer new approaches to storytelling and integrate AI tools to enhance journalism workflow, audience insights, and content creation
• Build data-driven editorial processes that optimize for audience engagement while maintaining editorial integrity
• Serve as a signature voice on Jewish affairs through media appearances, conferences, and public events, elevating the profile of 70 Faces Media
• Maintain our 107-year tradition of serving 60+ syndication clients with high-quality news reporting and help shape a strategy for serving local audiences into the future

What You'll Bring

• 10+ years of editorial leadership experience in news organizations, with a track record of both setting strategy and rolling up your sleeves to execute
• Strong editorial judgment across breaking news, enterprise reporting, and ideas-driven opinion content—you know what makes a story sing and why it matters
• A bold vision for how Jewish discourse should evolve across platforms, paired with the humility to collaborate and refine ideas with your team
• Deep understanding of Jewish communities, contemporary issues, and cultural conversations, with the ability to navigate complexity and nuance
• Proven ability to motivate and inspire teams while fostering a newsroom culture that values creativity, curiosity, and a sense of humor
• A strong commitment to ethical journalistic standards and the integrity to make tough calls
• Hands-on experience with online publishing, social media, newsletters, and emerging journalism formats—you're not afraid to experiment
• Comfort with AI tools and data-driven approaches to audience development, with enthusiasm for testing new technologies in service of great journalism
• Collaborative leadership style with excellent communication skills and the emotional intelligence to bring out the best in others
