POLITICO is seeking a reporter to cover New Jersey’s energy and environment beat.

Description

POLITICO’s mission from the very beginning was to win the audience. We dedicate ourselves to providing accurate, non-partisan, impactful information to the right people at the right time so that they can act with confidence and speed. We experiment to avoid being disrupted and we have fun disrupting others. And we are not afraid to risk failure if it means being the best at what we do.

POLITICO is seeking an enterprising reporter to cover the intersection of the politics and policy of energy and the environment for New Jersey and touching on New York City. Based in our New Jersey capitol bureau, the reporter will be part of the New York/New Jersey team covering energy and environmental regulation, utilities, renewables and pipelines. The job involves breaking news, writing high-impact enterprise stories for an informed, influential audience and co-writing a high-profile daily newsletter. Candidates must be comfortable working in a fast-paced environment and capable of producing a steady flow of well-written stories along with a daily newsletter.

What You’ll Need:

  • Familiarity with and an interest in keeping up with energy and environmental policy
  • Demonstrated ability to identify and develop story ideas on your beat
  • A track record of clean, clear, authoritative writing
  • Ability to break news and work on deadline while also pursuing enterprise stories
  • Self-starter with a collaborative spirit to work as part of a team

We are driven by our values. We are relentless contributors, disruptors, collaborators, and talent cultivators. Our culture is defined by grit, total integrity, and a prioritization on innovation.

We value our people. We offer a competitive compensation and comprehensive benefits package, including health and wellness benefits, commuter benefits, retirement plans, as well as work-life balance flexibility and opportunities for career development.
