TIME is a global media brand built on decades of unparalleled trust and authority. Having celebrated our centennial this year, we continue to evolve as a brand at a juncture of innovation and transformation.

Our core purpose is to tell stories to a global audience across our unique platforms. If you’re ready to take your next step with a 100+ year-old startup, read more about this opportunity below. TIME is seeking a senior correspondent to cover artificial intelligence at a moment of extraordinary transformation and consequence.

This role, based in San Francisco, will offer a highly experienced and motivated journalist a platform to do the best work of their career. The right candidate will have the time, talent, and editorial support to deliver scoops, definitive profiles of industry leaders, deeply reported enterprise features, and news analysis of how AI is reshaping society, economies, geopolitics, culture, and human creativity. This is a premier opportunity to play a central role in covering one of the world’s biggest stories for a trusted news organization with global reach and influence.

You should be excited about pursuing a broad array of highly ambitious reporting that introduces readers to the people and companies at the vanguard of the industry and reveal how frontier technologies are affecting communities across the country. The role comes with a mandate to produce cover stories, conduct agenda-setting interviews with industry leaders, contribute to TIME’s digital products and platforms—including our AI newsletter, “In the Loop”—and go beyond hype cycles to produce penetrating coverage that holds industry leaders accountable.

The ideal candidate will bring a distinguished body of work that indicates an ability to craft stylish, magazine-style narratives; a deep network of sources; and an interest in the ethical, political, and social complexities that arise from emerging technologies. We are looking for someone optimistic about AI’s promise, clear-eyed about its risks, and committed to capturing both with rigor, creativity, and a commitment to the highest journalistic standards.
