Quartz seeks senior technology reporter

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

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.

Technology topics we’ve covered recently have ranged from robots to Amazon’s and Google’s competition over cloud services to mobile payments and the advanced microchips in the iPhone. Developing fresh ways to look at technology and tech 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 at least several years of 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.
