War on the Rocks is looking for a detail-oriented, full-time executive editor who is committed to the clear communication of important and novel ideas about defense technology and the industrial base.

This is a full-time role based in Washington, DC. It is not a remote position. We are on a hybrid schedule of three days a week in the War on the Rocks office (T, W, Th) in Washington, DC. We will therefore only consider candidates who live in the Washington metro area or who are willing to relocate there.

A cover letter is required, along with your CV. In your cover letter, please include an amusing story about yourself. If you do not follow these instructions, your application will not be considered. If the job site you are using does not allow you to submit a cover letter, apply using this link instead:
