J, the Jewish newsweekly of Northern California, is seeking a dynamic editor to lead its editorial staff. J. serves the San Francisco Bay Area, reaching approximately 45,000 members of the local Jewish community via its print edition, website, e-mail newsletter, and social media.

The candidate will lead an editorial staff of six, covering local, national and international news of interest to the Jewish community in the highly diverse and geographically broad Bay Area. The position requires strong leadership, interpersonal, and teaming skills; community engagement and relationship-building abilities; creativity; and strong story identification/selection, news development, writing, opinion, editing and newspaper production skills. We are seeking candidates who can quickly become, along with our Publisher, the "face" of J. as we strive to build increased Jewish community reach and support.
Applicants should have a deep and balanced understanding of domestic and international issues of concern to the Jewish community, and experience with the use of digital media and social networking. Prior substantive newspaper experience is required, and knowledge of or experience in the San Francisco Bay Area Jewish community is a plus.
