I’m considering applying to a role on the Careers website, what is the application deadline?

Thank you for considering LEE as a future employer, we are eager to learn more about you through our application and interview process. If there is an open role that interests you, we encourage you to submit your application at your earliest convenience. However, please note that we do not have an application deadline for our posted roles and we will review applications on a rolling basis.

I just submitted my application, what can I expect?

Thank you for applying! You should receive email communication about your application within 10 days of applying, sharing whether you are moving forward to the interview stage.

How long does the hiring process take?

The hiring process usually takes 6-8 weeks from application submission to job offer. The processes for more senior roles may take longer. The hiring process typically includes three interviews (with hiring manager, a panel of peers, and a senior leader) and submission of brief pre-work.

Do you provide feedback on interviews?

One of LEE’s values is continuous learning. Therefore, if requested, we offer brief feedback to candidates not selected to move forward in the process.

Can I work from home?

If you apply to a job that states the location is flexible, the job can be performed from a home office or LEE office anywhere in the country. If you live close to the LEE national office in New York City, you may have the option to work from the office or from home.

What are minimum and preferred qualifications?

Each job description includes minimum and preferred qualifications.

Minimum qualifications refer to years of experience, content knowledge, and skills that are required to perform the job adequately. Applicants for a role who do not meet the minimum qualifications will not be considered.

Preferred qualifications list the experience and skills we believe will be beneficial to an applicant’s success in the role. While these qualifications are not required in order to be considered for a position, applicants who possess the preferred qualifications are more competitive than those who do not.
