Eurogamer is hiring a News Editor

Eurogamer is looking for a News Editor — a senior hire the site describes as a rare opening. The full job listing is posted on Jobvite.

Editor-in-Chief Chris Tapsell says the right candidate needs genuine experience both editing games news and producing original, agenda-setting reporting. That means beat reporting on major gaming communities, digging up stories from gaming's weirder corners, landing scoops, or writing the kind of in-depth inside stories the industry remembers. The role also carries a mentorship responsibility — whoever gets the job will need to develop junior talent while keeping Eurogamer's standards for authoritative, comprehensive news coverage intact.

Tapsell points to the site's track record as the benchmark: the inside story of Lionhead and the Nintendo NX scoop — published before the console was revealed as the Switch — are the kinds of pieces the new hire is expected to match and build on.
