War on the Rocks , the flagship publication of Metamorphic Media , is looking to fill roles focused on editorial management.

What We Are Looking For
We have posted this job announcement primarily in response to the unfortunate layoffs at Military Times , Defense News , and other outlets.
War on the Rocks is in need of filling out its director layer of editorial management. This announcement does not describe a specific position, but rather a set of needs related to management, leadership, and the improvement / supervision of processes that power the creation of our high-quality articles, podcasts, and newsletters.
Please note, this is not a role for people interested in working as journalists, but the skills and experience people have in defense journalism could be relevant to the role(s) we are looking to fill.
