Business Insider is hiring a full-time tech M&A deals reporter to work on the finance editorial team

The reporter will focus on breaking news on the biggest deals in the technology, media and telecommunications space — an industry that is rapidly transforming our lives.

The reporter should already have a deep Rolodex of sources, a demonstrated ability to break news and a familiarity with how dealmakers and executives operate. The reporter will work closely with other BI technology and banking beat reporters to deliver scoops and smart, big-picture analysis on high profile deals, private fundraising and initial public offerings.

The ideal candidate is someone who:

  • Loves breaking news on the beat
  • Is obsessed with talking to sources about deals in tech, media, and telecoms and then translating those conversations to smart stories for the BI audience
  • Enjoys collaborating with colleagues on inside stories
  • Is able to deliver a mixture of scoops, analysis, and profiles
  • Has at least 2 years experience covering tech deals, and a proven track record of breaking deals
This is a full-time position that can be based in either our New York City or our San Francisco office. Insider Inc. offers competitive compensation packages with complete benefits.

Ideal candidates will also have:
  • Interest in digital media and how readers consume news on the web
  • At least two years of experience writing and/or editing at a magazine or online publication
  • Copy-editing skills, light HTML and Photoshop experience, and knowledge of social media are also useful
