CNNMoney seeks tech editor

He or she should be well-versed in the major players – from Google and Facebook to Marisa Mayer and Richard Branson – and know how to break down an earnings report to find the juiciest details. But we’re also looking for someone interested in the broader impact of tech: think diversity, San Francisco homelessness, and the digital divide.

  • Generates story ideas
  • Contributes to special features and stories
