The right person for this role will also be involved in programming and perhaps even moderating panels at our high-profile events, which draw experts with varying facets of knowledge on a wide range of issues and sectors, including AI, e-commerce, hardware and a wide variety of software technologies.
TechCrunch’s mission is to tell the stories behind the stories. As an editor overseeing the venture desk, you will contribute your voice and leadership skills to this mission. You’ll need to know how to talk to investors, engineers, lawyers, bankers and founders. You’ll use your knowledge and acumen to cut through the noise and help contextualize the news on behalf of our readers.
Top candidates will have the ability to help a staff of writers with a deep knowledge of venture to understand which stories are worth chasing (and dropping), how to gather string for stories, and how to accurately report on and publish news that needs to go out quickly.
TechCrunch often covers stories weeks, months or years before they enter mainstream consciousness. A strong proactive sensibility and good instincts will serve well in this environment.
