Business Insider seeks an executive life reporter

Business Insider is hiring an executive life reporter.

Our readers are always striving for success.

While success can be personal or professional, Business Insider’s Executive Life vertical examines the ins and outs of another kind of success: financial.

What is life like when you’re really, truly rich?

We’re looking for a reporter to open a window into the lives of the world’s richest people to show what success really looks like once you get there.

Are you endlessly curious about the super rich? Do you want to dive into their daily lives, from where they live and vacation, to where they eat and shop? Are you fascinated by the world of live-in staff, private jets, and summer homes?

We’re looking for someone who is excited by money: where it is, what it can create, and how to get it. This person will zero in on the world’s richest people, including leaders of business and industry, to see how they spend their money and live their lives.

We will consider candidates at various experience levels, but the ideal candidate should:

• have a degree in journalism or experience writing for a news outlet, preferably at a digital publication

• have excellent reporting and writing skills, and the ability to write quickly

• have a knack for telling stories in a relatable and compelling way

• have a demonstrated social media presence

• be ready to write a mix of articles, including short, bite-sized points of news and advice, while also working on reported medium-length and long-form features

To apply, go here.
