The ideal candidate must possess superior leadership skills, including the proven ability to direct and motivate a large news staff. Applicants should have experience supervising and driving major stories and projects. Candidates must have demonstrated success working closely with other senior managers to form a strong, empowered leadership team.

Success in multiple formats a major plus as is a demonstrated sophistication in how the federal government and the federal city of Washington operate. Advanced-level professional competency in written and spoken English language. Authorization to work in the U.S. will be mandatory.
