Washington Post seeks Silicon Valley correspondent

The Washington Post’s National Economy and Business team has an opening for a national technology correspondent based in Silicon Valley.

The reporter should be a self-starter with strong writing chops who can generate major enterprise stories, as well as jump on significant news quickly and with voice.

We have no need for run-of-the-mill stories about companies and executives; this person should write deeper takes that illuminate the powerful forces shaping technology around the world, producing the kind of work that makes a single writer stand out from the pack.

It’s akin to a foreign posting: Tell us how Silicon Valley influences the broader culture, commerce, attitudes and policy and explain it all in imaginative ways that seem relevant to the average reader.

If you’re interested, please contact Greg Schneider (gregory.schneider@washpost.com), David Cho (david.cho@washpost.com) or Tracy Grant (tracy.grant@washpost.com).
