Arts & Culture Editor


Arts & Culture Editor

Do you have a sixth sense for where to find Portland’s best new band, its funniest comedian, or a food cart whose chef will someday win a James Beard Award?

Do you want to spend your weekends exploring neighborhoods to spot the one shop window that displays something original? Can you manage a small team under big pressure?

Then you might be a match for Willamette Week. We’re seeking an Arts & Culture Editor with reporting and editing experience to join the team. We want a candidate who can be an arbiter of what’s next in the city with an emphasis on discovery—identifying breakout bands, steering readers toward innovative culinary pop-ups and cultural shifts in visual arts.

The ideal candidate knows how to search liquor board filings, calm panicking freelancers and spot an original talent. We value fearless honesty and a cool head. Come from a background that’s underrepresented in journalism? We want to meet you.

To apply - please send a resume and three clips to amesh@wweek.com.
