The Role: 

This role requires an experienced, mission‑driven senior editor to lead TIME’s Health and Hospitals franchises, advancing our authority, relevance, and impact in health coverage. The Senior Editor will oversee new Health and Hospitals initiatives, senior‑edit key lists (e.g., TIME100 Health), and collaborate across franchises such as TIME100 Companies to grow some of TIME’s most visible health‑related tentpoles.

 

Responsibilities:

• Lead a new Hospitals franchise end‑to‑end—from methodology and curation through editing, final publication, and cross‑platform packaging.
• Senior‑edit adjacent Health/Science lists (e.g., TIME100 Health) and support other health‑related tentpoles as needed.
• Partner with external data and research collaborators on methodology, research, and editorial; translate findings into trusted journalism and clear, transparent ranking criteria.
• Manage contributors and cross‑functional workflows (including web, design, and production) to deliver complex, multi‑piece packages at a high bar, on deadline.
• Collaborate across TIME franchises (e.g., TIME100 Companies) to identify opportunities for integrated health‑related storytelling and franchise growth.
• Promote and abide by our commitment to Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.

 

Qualifications:

• 7+ years of editing and/or reporting experience, with a record of delivering complex editorial packages or franchise lists.
• Demonstrated subject‑matter depth in health, science, or the healthcare business.
• Experience applying research‑ and data‑backed methodologies to editorial curation and rankings with high transparency and accuracy.
• Expert line‑editing and top‑editing skills, with strong editorial judgment.
• Proven ability to guide contributors and collaborate effectively across departments and disciplines.
• Enthusiastic about innovation, positive-change and collaboration.

 

Note: This position is represented by the NewsGuild of New York.

 

Location:

This is a hybrid role. Eligible candidates for the role must be within a commutable distance of TIME’s New York City office upon hire and may be expected to be physically present as needed.
