About the Team

You'll join a newsroom that helps people understand how money moves the world - and how to make smarter decisions about it. You'll write accessible, impactful daily stories and craft enterprise features that anticipate or explain major technological and investing trends. You will be part of a small, collaborative team of writers, and report to MarketWatch's technology editor.

About the Role

MarketWatch is seeking an ambitious reporter to join its burgeoning technology team to cover the business of tech - from the numbers that move markets to the strategies shaping the future.

You'll cover some of the buzziest names in the sector through a financial lens, translating corporate earnings, stock-price moves and C-suite strategy into what it means for an audience of money-curious readers, budding traders and investors.

You'll break news and you'll break news down into what it all means for the economy and consumers at large. You will deliver smart, accessible analysis on AI trends and developments in chips, software and fintech, with a particular focus on how these companies make money, spend it and attempt to grow.

You'll publish articles on earnings and stock performance, but you'll also report on the ways these companies and the technologies they create are impacting consumers. This reporter will be responsible for talking to investment managers, technologists and privacy advocates to unearth the next big trend.

The ideal candidate has a background in financial journalism, with a strong understanding of corporate filings, capital markets and business strategy.

A curiosity about how tech is reshaping work, life and investing - and a desire to distill those tectonic shifts for a broader audience - is crucial for this role. You'll also be comfortable going beyond the daily news cycle to develop original enterprise work that helps readers understand not just what's happening but why - and why it matters.

Candidates should have experience with technology and markets reporting. The role will be based in New York.

You Will:

• Cover breaking technology news with urgency and insight
• Pitch and produce regular enterprise stories that go beyond headlines
• Interview experts and influential C-suite execs in tech to identify trends
• Analyze SEC filings and synthesize corporate earnings in accessible terms
• Collaborate with editors, visuals and other teams to produce high-quality journalism
• Thrive in a fast-paced newsroom
• Work well under pressure and with other members of the team
• Be a skilled, insightful and compassionate interviewer
• Be meticulous in your copy and ambitious in your reporting
• Pitch creative and compelling story ideas

You Have:

• At least one to three years of experience writing about technology companies through a financial lens
• Fluency in investment terminology and technology concepts
• Adept at finding differentiated angles off the news
• A track record of writing unique, engaging stories
• A proven ability to write clearly and accurately under deadline
• Commitment to reporting with accuracy, integrity and reader value in mind

Our Benefits

• Comprehensive Healthcare Plans
• Paid Time Off
• Retirement Plans
• Comprehensive Medical, Dental and Vision Insurance Plans
• Education Benefits
• Paid Maternity and Paternity Leave
• Family Care Benefits
