Quartz seeks reporter to cover companies

Quartz seeks a reporter to contribute to its coverage of companies globally, with a focus on producing original takes on the news and reported analytical scoops.

You would be part of the growing Quartz team based in New York, and help shape our efforts to take bracingly creative approaches to covering business news.

Corporate topics we’ve covered recently have ranged from the future of the auto business to the strategy of T-Mobile US’s colorful CEO John Legere. Developing fresh ways to look at business trends and translate them into interesting, provocative articles, with a solid grounding in data, is a central challenge of this job. You should also be able to identify and chronicle telling strategic and management challenges of specific companies and CEOs.

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 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.
