Job Description

The Managing Editor position will primarily focus on assisting the editor-in-chief (EIC) with the execution of Mercury’s vision, including managing workflow and the editorial budget, supporting staff with daily practical needs, organizing production flow of print products, handling internal issues and performance assessments, while also assisting with editing and proofreading.

Preferred qualifications

  • Having a fun, can-do attitude and being able to exhibit editorial flair.
  • Possessing an inspiring, positive personality that can bring out the best in employees.
  • A working knowledge of Portland, and what makes it so special.
