| Quartz seeks a reporter obsessed with the future of capitalism to cover economics and finance. 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. You should feel equally comfortable reporting and writing short pieces of news analysis, chart-based articles, scoops of fact or insight, and deeply reported features. Experimenting with new ways to put news and data into context will be a central challenge of the job. All locations will be considered. (Quartz is currently all-remote, which means you would be onboarding in a remote environment.) To apply, please submit a cover letter, resume, and five links to relevant stories you’ve written and reported. Enterprise Values Quartz recruits talent for two salient attributes or qualities: - Force of Ideas: At the center of Quartz work are the ideas within our writing. We believe that ideas–to the good and not–have consequences. Our highest work is bringing rigor, insight, intellectual honesty, to that ultimate purpose of separating the bad from the good, and giving voice to the latter.
- 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. If reasonable accommodation is needed to participate in the job application or interview process, please let us know. We are an equal opportunity employer, and we do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, creed, age, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, family orientation, marital status, country of origin, citizenship, ancestry, physical or mental disability, veteran status, or any other category protected by local, state, or federal laws. Pursuant to the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance, we will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records. |
