Politico seeks a future of health care reporter

Politico is seeking an experienced, creative reporter to help lead its coverage of the future of health — chronicling trends, innovations and challenges.

The coronavirus pandemic has reshaped the public policy, business and delivery of health care in the United States and around the world. It has accelerated the use of telemedicine, renewed concern about the privacy of personal health care data, spotlighted social determinants of health and the exposed the weaknesses of global supply chains.

This reporter must have deft news judgment and be able to bring a global perspective to the sector’s tectonic shifts. We’re looking for someone with deep curiosity who is comfortable working in a fast-moving newsroom.

What You Need

  • 8-10 years of reporting experience
  • A demonstrated grasp of how to uncover stories in this area of coverage
  • Proven track record to handle demanding, fast-moving reporting
  • Established ability to land shorter-term tasks and long-term projects with clarity and accuracy.

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

To apply, go here.
