We are looking for a smart, fast Web editor to help run our site. The ideal candidate will have experience editing political coverage, ideally in a fast-paced environment, and the ability to write headlines, move copy and make decisions under tight deadlines.

Qualifications:
Candidates must have demonstrated ability to edit thoroughly, accurately and quickly under deadline pressure. This is not a good job for editors accustomed to spending many hours or days recrafting stories. It is an ideal job for an editor who thrives in a dynamic environment and quarterbacking breaking news.

To apply:
Please send a cover letter, résumé and contact information for three references to employment@politico.com, using the subject line: Web editor.
No phone calls, please.
