The Forward seeks an intrepid, entrepreneurial, digital- and documents-savvy investigative journalist to land high-impact projects that make a difference and create conversation across the American Jewish world. The journalist will serve as a player-coach in our small nonprofit newsroom, reporting and writing their own stories while also developing and shepherding work by staff members and freelancers.

The Senior Editor : Investigative must have impeccable news judgment and journalistic ethics; deep experience working with public records and data as well as building trust with human sources; and a track record of producing work that resonates with audiences and leads to tangible results. A collaborative spirit and flexibility are essential, as is a dogged commitment to holding power to account.

Founded in 1897 as a Yiddish, Socialist broadsheet, the Forward taught generations of Eastern European immigrants how to be American. Publishing mainly in English since 1990 and fully digital since 2019, our news, culture and full-spectrum opinion coverage now reach 1.5 million people each month across platforms. We are a member-supported nonprofit, having removed our paywall in late 2023, and an Equal Opportunity employer that welcomes applicants from all backgrounds. Knowledge of the Jewish world is a plus, interest in it a must.

The Senior Editor, a new role, will function as a player / coach and help the Forward build on its proud, decades-long legacy of investigative journalism. They will report to the Editor-in-Chief and manage at least one full-time enterprise reporter, plus freelance projects. Expected salary range is $80,000-$100,000, depending on experience, with generous health benefits and PTO.

To apply, send resume, five clips showcasing high-impact investigations you reported or edited, and a cover letter outlining at least three potential Forward investigations for 2025 to jobs@forward.com , subject line : Senior Editor : Investigative .
