Part-Time Editorial Page Assistant, Opinions

Job Description :

The legendary New York Post — home to bold headlines, sharp takes, and a rich editorial legacy — is seeking a Part-Time Editorial Page Assistant (~3 days/20-24 hours per week) to help bring our Letters to the Editor section to life and support our Opinion team’s day-to-day operations.

This is a unique opportunity for someone passionate about current events, politics, and audience engagement to play a hands-on role at one of the country’s most iconic media brands.

Note: This position will be expected to work approximately 20-24 hours per week throughout Monday, Thursday, and Friday.

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Manage the Letters to the Editor inbox, select timely reader letters, fact-check submissions, and layout the daily section with headlines, art, and clean copy for print and digital.
  • Partner with our editors and HR to onboard new freelance opinion contributors and manage weekly freelance payroll.
  • Schedule editorial board meetings, reserve space, send calendar invites, and liaise with building security for guest visits.
  • Assist with drafting and scheduling social content to help amplify our opinion coverage online.

The ideal candidate will have:

  • 1–2 years of experience in opinion writing, editorial work, political communications, or a related field
  • Strong editing, writing, and fact-checking skills
  • Proactive, highly organized, and confident juggling multiple priorities
  • A great communicator — both independent and collaborative
  • Familiarity with WordPress, SEO, and social media best practices
  • Comfortable managing social platforms and helping posts reach the right audience
  • Familiarity with WordPress

Note: The NY Post adheres to a hybrid work model.

At The New York Post we recognize that attracting the best talent is key to our strategy and success as a company. As a result, our ranges reflect our good faith estimate to pay fairly as to what our ideal candidates are likely to expect, and we tailor our offers within the range based on the selected candidate’s experience, industry knowledge, technical and communication skills, and other factors that may prove relevant during the interview process.

As an equal opportunity employer, the New York Post does not discriminate in hiring or the terms and conditions of employment because of an individual’s race, color, religion, national origin, age, disability, gender, sexual orientation, citizenship or any other characteristic protected by federal, state or local law. The New York Post will consider the provision of reasonable accommodations to known physical or mental disabilities of otherwise qualified applicants to enable them to participate in our application process and to effectively perform the essential functions of the job, unless doing so would impose an undue financial or operational hardship. ​
