You will also have some regular editing responsibilities.
You will cultivate a beat, learn about the trends CIOs care about most, manage social media strategy, assist in planning and executing big projects, interview newsmakers, develop relationships with key industry sources and experts, chase down important stories and collaborate with your team.
The position reports to the Managing Editor.

    • A proven track record of reporting and writing business stories, involving one or more of the core topics: business technology strategy, cloud, data and AI.
    • Ability and proven track record of delivering scoops and exclusive news.
    • Experience pitching to and working collaboratively with an editor.
    • Ability to quickly take ownership of specific beats through original reporting and source building.

    • Experience writing web headlines and copy editing content.
    • Strong digital news knowledge and aptitude.
    • Deadline-oriented time-management skills.
    • Ability to work with a fast-paced, dynamic team which publishes multiple audience-specific newsletters each week.
    • Bachelor’s or master’s degree in journalism, English or similar field.
    • Experience level: 3+ years at a minimum, strong preference for direct experience in one or more of the areas of enterprise technology, cloud, software or AI.

What you’ll do:

    • Work with the CIO Dive team to produce daily and weekly newsletters — reporting, writing and editing in a collaborative fashion.
    • Pitch and cover breaking news in the industry while conceiving and executing longer analytical pieces and projects.
    • Identify key industry storylines we can own and help establish and execute on long-term goals for the publication.
    • Show versatility in writing for different audiences, or in different formats.
    • Use Google Analytics or other analytics-monitoring tools to help inform our content strategy.
