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 News 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 seeking to hire two creative, collaborative and deadline-driven Print Desk Designers to help shape our daily and weekly print editions.

The designers who fill these roles will have the opportunity to help produce visually compelling print journalism at one of the world’s leading news organizations. Print Desk Designers work across news and features products, including themed sections and standalone special editions, helping bring stories to life through thoughtful layout, strong visual hierarchy and sharp presentation.

We are looking for designers with excellent news judgment, a sophisticated eye for typography and layout, and the ability to work quickly and collaboratively under deadline pressure. The ideal candidate is adaptable, eager to learn new tools and committed to maintaining the highest visual and editorial standards across all print products.

These positions are based in our Washington, D.C., newsroom. Schedules typically include some Eastern Time evening shifts and at least one weekend day.

What Motivates You:

  • You are passionate about the craft of print design and visual storytelling.

  • You thrive in fast-paced production environments and enjoy solving problems under deadline pressure.

  • You care deeply about presentation, clarity and the reader experience.

  • You enjoy collaborating with editors, designers and production teams.

  • You are energized by experimenting with new tools and workflows.

How You’ll Support the Mission:

  • Use The Post’s content management systems and design tools to adapt edited text, photography and graphics across print products.

  • Design visually compelling pages and story packages for daily and weekly print editions, as well as special sections.

  • Collaborate with print editors and fellow designers to execute strong, cohesive visual storytelling.

  • Maintain high standards for accuracy, tone and brand consistency across all print products.

  • Contribute ideas for improving workflows, presentation and the overall print experience.

  • Work efficiently under tight deadlines while balancing multiple assignments.

The Skills and Experiences You Bring:

  • A portfolio demonstrating excellence in print news or magazine design.

  • Typography, layout and visual storytelling skills.

  • Strong news judgment and an understanding of how design shapes the reader experience.

  • Ability to work collaboratively and communicate effectively in a deadline-driven work environment.

  • Comfort learning and adapting to new technologies and production workflows.

  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to accuracy.

  • Prior experience with Méthode, Roxen and Adobe Creative Suite are big plusses.

Interested candidates should upload a résumé, cover letter and portfolio to our jobs portal. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled, but those received by Sept. 25 will be prioritized. Cover letters should be addressed to Deputy Managing Editor for Print Carla Broyles and Deputy Head of Print Laura Michalski.

The salary range for this position is: $85,100 - $127,700. The actual starting salary within this range will depend on individual skills, experience and qualifications as they relate to specific job requirements.

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.

Compensation and Benefits

Wherever you are in your life or career, The Washington Post offers comprehensive and inclusive benefits for every step of your journey:

  • Competitive medical, dental and vision coverage

  • Company-paid pension and 401(k) match

  • Three weeks of vacation and up to three weeks of paid sick leave

  • Nine paid holidays and two personal days

  • 20 weeks paid parental leave for any new parent

  • Robust mental health resources

  • Backup care and caregiver concierge services

  • Gender affirming services

  • Pet insurance

  • Free Post digital subscription

  • Leadership and career development programs

Benefits may vary based on the job, full-time or part-time schedule, location, and collectively bargained status.
