As recently as last year, the current group shared the prestigious Toner Prize for national political reporting. Boston and Washington have a deeply symbiotic relationship. The airline shuttles that go back and forth every hour were filled, pre-pandemic, with people shaping national policy and politics. Our leaders often figure prominently in presidential campaigns, hold positions of authority on Capitol Hill, serve as cabinet secretaries, and have outsized roles in the lobbying, public strategy, and communication shops that drive so much of DC life. Our policies are frequently the foundation for national debates. Our readers are sophisticated and politically savvy, and as such, take Washington coverage seriously. So do we. We're not here to simply mimic the wire services with cookie-cutter coverage of the story of the day.

The deputy bureau chief will also help shape and occasionally edit the bureau’s coverage and should be able to serve as a mentor to their colleagues. Qualifications Ten years or more of experience in journalism (not necessarily in Washington), a good part of that involving political reporting. A track record of breaking news and writing lively, accessible political stories. A collegial approach to reporting and/or editing and affinity for working collaboratively on a team.  A versatile and engaging writing style that encompasses breaking news as well as longer-form features and profiles. An ideas-driven approach to reporting and a hunger to find angles and stories that aren’t being told—or to tell them in a new way. An ability to represent the Globe and promote its work in media appearances and speaking engagements.  A willingness to adapt, be audience focused with a curious mindset and committed to creating an inclusive work environment.
