Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Lead Sports Designer

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Western Pennsylvania’s largest newspaper, is currently seeking applicants for a lead designer position on our award-winning sports desk.

We’re looking for a versatile designer / editor to elevate our coverage on multiple platforms. The Post-Gazette provides unparalleled reporting and commentary on Pittsburgh's storied pro and college teams, plus expansive high school coverage.

If you have a winning attitude and are highly motivated, the Post-Gazette has an exciting opening for a key player in one of America’s most passionate pro and college sports cities.

The Post-Gazette is perennially rated among the best sports reports in the country by the Associated Press Sports Editors (2024 Top 10 print).

Our offices are conveniently located between Acrisure Stadium and PNC Park and our coverage base includes three college teams (Pitt, Penn State and West Virginia) in college’s elite Power Five conferences.

We are looking for a designer to lead us into an exciting next phase of our transformation.

The applicant should have design skills to create section fronts and inside pages that are elegant, active and relentlessly interesting.

The ability to work effectively on deadlines is a key. The designer must be able to recognize and advocate for excellent photography, generate ideas for alternate story forms and collaborate with writers and editors in the planning and presentation process.

This position will play a large role in the planning and execution of the sports desk's award-winning premium products, such as the weekly Sunday edition and special sections.

The applicant is a person with proven visual skills who can bring life to our news pages and digital formats. The ability to edit copy and write vibrant headlines for both print and digital platforms is preferred.

  • Strong verbal and written communication skills as well as strong interpersonal skills
  • Strong analytical and strategic planning skills and attention to detail
