Quartz seeks consumer goods reporter

Quartz seeks a reporter to lead its coverage of the consumer goods sector globally, including a focus on the business of food.

You would be part of the growing Quartz team in New York, and help shape our efforts to take bracingly creative approaches to covering business news. Consumer goods topics we’ve covered recently have ranged from the decline of the microwave oven to the per capita coffee consumption around the world. Developing fresh ways to look at consumption trends and translate them into interesting, provocative articles, with a solid grounding in data, is a central challenge of this job.

We are looking for someone with professional reporting experience, a facility with data, an entrepreneurial approach to their work, and the ability to convey curiosity and subtle humor in their writing. The reporter should feel comfortable with using formats other than 700-word articles (such as shorter pieces, photos, and charts) when they’re better for efficiently and effectively getting a story across. International experience and languages are a plus.

To apply, please submit a cover letter, resume, and five links to relevant work. The links matter most.
