Staff Writer / Reporter

Report and write longform features for clients in foundation, policy, civic, and cultural beats. Editorial Type Location Remote (U.S.) Compensation $85k – $115k Section 01 — The work We hire reporters who like the doing of reporting — the cold call, the freedom-of-information request, the third interview that finally yields the thing the first two danced around. You will write longform features for client publications and occasional op-eds under principal bylines. The work is varied. In a given quarter you might be reporting a feature on a community health network, drafting an op-eds for a foundation president, and chasing a single quote that has been the missing piece of a piece for six weeks. We pay for reporting. Travel and source meals are not a fight — they are the budget. Our writers are expected to read widely and have opinions about what does and doesn't work in the form. Section 02 — What we look for 01 Four-plus years reporting and writing at a magazine, newsroom, or longform outlet 02 At least two clips over 3,000 words you would still defend today 03 Comfort with first-person and third-person work alike 04 A specific beat or two — civic, foundation, health, policy, science, the arts 05 Willingness to write under another principal's byline when the work warrants Section 03 — What we don't We try to be specific about who this role is not for.

• Writers whose strongest skill is pace, not reporting
• SEO-content backgrounds without longform clips
• Anyone uncomfortable with a substantive edit
