September 2, 2015

Posted by Chris Roush

Business Insider is looking for a reporter to cover Amazon, e-commerce, and payments companies and technology.

As part of Business Insider’s tech team you will:

  • Rapidly evaluate and succinctly explain the importance of fast-breaking news about companies on your beat, including product news, earnings, and leaks.
  • Develop strong sources within Amazon and other companies on your beat to break news and drive major stories forward.
  • Pitch and develop engaging stories that take the reader inside Amazon and other companies on your beat.
  • Work with other reporters on the team to cover fast-breaking news and write occasional features in other areas — beats are neither strict nor exclusive.

We will consider candidates at various experience levels. The best candidates will show the following:

  • Demonstrated understanding of the e-commerce and payments landscape, particularly Amazon and its competitors. Previous coverage in this area desired, not required.
  • Great clips as a tech or business reporter, including a mix of breaking news and analysis.
  • Exceptional reporting and writing skills.
  • An appreciation for Business Insider and what we do well.
  • A desire to work as part of a team in a fast-paced startup environment.

Apply HERE if interested. Please include your resume and a cover letter telling us what excites you about this job and coverage area.

The position is full-time in our New York City or San Francisco office. Business Insider offers competitive compensation packages complete with benefits.
