Responsibilities: You’ll work both independently and in collaboration with colleagues across the newsroom to produce stories covering breaking news, exclusive scoops, and longform reporting designed to surprise, reveal, and inform. You’ll be expected to use your time wisely to juggle multiple assignments at once while being able to pivot when important news drops.
It’s not unusual for Fortune reporters to work outside their beat, but in this role, you’ll have a strong focus on underrepresented voices and their experiences with business and money. We’ve done some stories in this vein, but we want to invest in making this a bigger part of our coverage. We expect this beat to straddle traditional business reporting and politics reporting, and if you have an interest in one more than the other, we would definitely take that into account.
Fortune’s headquarters is in NYC, but our editorial team is based across time zones and international borders. We’re working remotely right now because of the pandemic. We encourage applicants between the coasts to apply.
