The award-winning Omaha World-Herald is seeking a motivated and exacting editor to ensure high-quality content standards are met through the evening and on weekends.

If you are interested in the position, please upload a resume and a cover letter, addressed to Managing Editor Jess Rollins, explaining how you would handle the job. All materials must be uploaded to the job portal at https://lee.net/careers/ (search for "Omaha") to be considered.
