Politico seeks a tech reporter

Politico is seeking a smart, enterprising reporter to cover one of the hottest stories in the world: the political and policy collisions between government and the tech sector as Silicon Valley upends the norms of society, business and democracy.

This high-profile beat includes chronicling big tech companies’ influence in Washington, efforts by Congress and the White House  to check the tech industry’s power, technology’s role in the rising U.S. power struggle with China, and the impact of next-generation technologies such as artificial intelligence on issues ranging from privacy and health care to the future of schools, work and transportation.

The reporter’s primary duties will include writing Morning Tech, our must-read, scoop-driven newsletter for policymakers and professionals in Washington and tech hubs across the country. The Morning Tech writer should be motivated to develop new sources in a new administration, to identify and own key emerging coverage areas and to track the fast-moving race to regulate tech at the state level across America.

The ideal candidate will possess a passion for politics, a thirst for scoops, strong writing skills and a demonstrated ability to serve as a thought leader on trends in technology policy and politics.

What You’ll Need:

• A strong, clearly demonstrated grasp of tech policy and politics
• Track record of writing clearly and accurately on deadline while juggling multiple fast-moving story lines
• Proven ability to deliver scoops and uncover emerging trends
• A track record of driving stories that hold those in power accountable
