Creator Host

Join the future of news

We're on a mission to deliver riveting storytelling for all of America. At The Washington Post, you'll help reinvent news. Our work is driven by a deep investigative spirit and enhanced by innovation to bring audiences closer to the stories that matter most.

About Our Team

The Washington Post is powered by the passion and talent of our people. It takes all of us to reinvent news. Beyond our award-winning Newsroom and Opinions teams, we work across many departments, including Brand & Events, Communications, Customer Care, Engineering & Product, Finance, Human Resources, Legal, Marketing & Advertising, Print Operations, and Sales.

Why This Role Matters

The Washington Post is building WP Creator - a bold new space for the knowledge experts, innovative storytellers, and builders shaping the future of media and influence. We're looking for a Creator Host to define the voice and direction of this emerging platform - a community-driven newsletter at the heart of the creator economy.

In this role, you won't just write about creators - you'll create with them. You'll lead the conversation around how creators build sustainable businesses, influence culture, and redefine media. Through storytelling, insights, and community engagement, you'll help The Washington Post become an essential home for anyone building in the creator space.

This is an opportunity to launch something new - combining the credibility of The Washington Post with the authenticity and energy of creator culture.

Responsibilities

• Develop and lead the editorial vision for WP Creator - establishing its tone, identity, and community presence.
• Publish a bi-weekly creator-focused newsletter that offers original reporting, inspiration, and forward-thinking analysis of the creator economy.
• Build partnerships and collaborations that connect creators, platforms, and brands around shared insights and opportunities.
• Shape and host live and virtual experiences - from AMAs to in-person events - that deepen community connection and expand WP Creator's influence.
• Identify breakthrough trends, innovations, and voices that will define the next generation of creative entrepreneurship.
• Partner with The Washington Post's editorial, product, and audience teams to scale WP Creator into a movement.

Who You Are

• A creator and connector who understands both the art and business of influence.
• A visionary storyteller who sees patterns before they become trends - and knows how to help others act on them.
• A community builder who thrives on dialogue, collaboration, and creating spaces where others feel seen.
• A self-starter who's energized by building something from the ground up and defining what it can become.
• A trusted voice in the creator space, eager to grow that influence through The Washington Post's global reach.

Preferred Experience

• Demonstrated experience leading or growing a creator-focused brand, publication, or community.
• Proven ability to develop loyal audiences through newsletters, podcasts, or digital media products.
• Deep understanding of the creator economy and how technology, culture, and business intersect.
• Entrepreneurial mindset with strong editorial judgment and creative leadership skills.
• Exceptional communication, partnership, and storytelling abilities.

Collaboration makes us stronger. That's why our offices are designed with open layouts, modern technology, and easy access to transportation. With certain exceptions for newsgathering and business travel, we work on-site five days a week.
