We are looking for an ambitious journalist with at least five years’ professional reporting experience, an entrepreneurial approach, data fluency, and the ability to convey curiosity, sophistication, and a clear point of view in their writing.  You’ll need to have a deep understanding of and fascination with economics, markets, banking, and finance; be attuned to how and why these fields are changing, and show readers the impact of these changes on the global economy and the people within it. Among other things, you’ll cover new signals and forces in the markets and the economy, the economic consequences of important upcoming elections, and novel solutions (a policy, a technology, an idea) to problems with capitalism in its current forms around the world. At Quartz we take a global, interdisciplinary, forward-looking approach to covering the news.

Spirit of Generosity : Quartz seeks in its ranks a spirit of generosity–a natural disposition in each colleague toward service and selfless conduct.  Quartz writing should be cut from the same cloth–critical on the merits but informed by charity and forbearance in measuring motive and personal character. Quartz is committed to building a team that includes a wide variety of backgrounds and perspectives. We aim to be a place where a diverse mix of dedicated people will want to come, to stay, and do their best work. We strongly encourage applicants who are people of color, LGBTQ, women, people with disabilities, and/or formerly incarcerated people, and a college degree is not required.

Perhaps you have edited stories about the workplace before.

Quartz primarily organizes coverage around “obsessions”: topics and themes that are driving and disrupting the global economy. Quartz at Work currently has eight obsessions : modern leadership, the happier office, careering (our take on career-building and career management), power in progress (our take on identity and inclusion at work), the lives of working parents, productivity and creativity, how to manage people, and the purpose of companies. You should be comfortable editing stories on any of these topics, and able to quickly learn to identify a Quartz at Work angle in unexpected places. You also will be encouraged to write as time allows.   Your editing skills should easily transfer to a variety of story formats, from quick hits and longform features to email newsletters and whatever configurations we might experiment with in the future (audio skills are not a requirement but a plus). You will be called upon to contribute ideas as we plan special projects and strategize ways to expand our audience and deepen our connection with readers around the world. Location is flexible, but your schedule should roughly follow US or UK business hours. To apply, please submit a cover letter, resume, and up to five links showcasing interesting work you’ve contributed to, whether as a writer or editor.
