In this role, you’ll be responsible for delivering high-impact stories for the WIRED business desk, ranging from breaking news to longer-lead investigations. While your coverage will primarily involve Big Tech, you’ll have a wide remit to follow your reporting to wherever the most compelling stories lie. You will bring a deep stable of sources to the role and be able to deliver exclusives and scoops.
Your work will advance WIRED’s business desk priorities. We’re less interested in earnings reports than we are in the people most responsible for—and most affected by—the tech industry’s outsized influence. That can range anywhere from established giants like Meta to emerging startups with consequential ideas about housing, artificial intelligence, fintech, and beyond. Investigations can come in all shapes and sizes, from deeply reported long reads to quick FOIA wins.
The successful candidate must have extensive experience and a demonstrated portfolio of work covering tech companies and should already be well-sourced in at least one of them. They should be skilled at using FOIA, PACER, and other public records tools. They must also have experience with both short and long-lead storytelling across a wide range of formats such as social, podcasts, video series, live events, etc.
This role reports to the Director, Business & Industry and is part of a growing and increasingly global newsroom of smart, kind, nerdy, and well-informed colleagues who are always brimming with ideas and eager to help each other out. This role is hybrid in-office (3 days/week) and we are open to candidates in New York, San Francisco, or Los Angeles.
