CoinDesk is a quickly growing company with incredible ambition. Our global presence has grown exponentially through top quality journalism and events, creating a community for millions of users. We’d love for you to join us if you’re willing to take on new challenges and immerse yourself in a world of creative, forward-thinking individuals.
As a headlines editor/monitor, you will be the front line of CoinDesk’s news operations, charged with sifting through a steady stream of content (blogs, media, press releases, websites, filings, central bank statements, tweets, etc.) and identifying important developments in the cryptocurrency space.
Upon spotting potential news, you will alert the assignment editor and/or the appropriate team. When the technology is ready to do so, you may send a link to the item and possibly a timely accurate flash headline, should the identified news item reach that level of importance.
You will also be responsible for the maintenance of the newsroom’s shared scraping tool used to surface potentially newsworthy items, adding or subtracting sources as needed and well as maintaining the Twitter feed for the same reason.
Your mission: to ensure CoinDesk readers are fully up to date whenever and wherever something happens in the cryptocurrency industry, and that all content is accurate, punctual and written in CoinDesk style.
You plan well for the things that can be anticipated and react quickly to the things that can’t.
Responsibilities:
About you:

Location:
Ideal location anywhere in the Eastern Time zone. Shift would begin at either 6 a.m. or 7 a.m. Eastern.
