The Christian Century seeks an assistant editor

The Christian Century—an independent Christian magazine that covers theology, church, politics, and culture from a progressive perspective—seeks a full-time assistant editor to acquire, edit, and produce articles in print and online.

The position requires someone who

  • writes well
  • reads widely
  • has a strong interest in American Christianity
  • works effectively both alone and with others
  • is eager to take on both the substantive work and the more mundane tasks that go into producing a magazine

The ideal candidate will also have several of the following:

  • deep familiarity and networks within a non-White church tradition
  • an advanced degree in religious studies or one of the theological disciplines
  • background or experience in journalism or publishing
  • familiarity with the religion book publishing world
  • experience with content management systems
  • fluency in web communications
  • published writing clips

The salary range for this position is $54,000 to $60,000. Excellent benefits include health coverage, paid time off, and a generous 401(k) match.

The Century has an office in downtown Chicago but maintains a flexible, remote-first work environment. Employees are required to come to Chicago three times a year for multi-day gatherings; local employees are welcome to work from the office at other times as well.
