Business Insider seeks e-commerce reporter

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.
