Full Job Description
Who we are Semafor is a global news platform for an increasingly complex world in which consumers are overwhelmed by too many news sources and unsure what to trust. We are building Semafor to enable world-class journalists to deliver reporting and insights with rigor in journalistic forms that ensure a new level of transparency. Our editors and reporters distill the most important stories from all over in formats that uncover the forces shaping the stories, explain the interests behind polarizing narratives, and replenish the stock of shared facts.

Your focus will be on big-game hunting — getting the scoops and stories that will set Semafor apart. You'll be tracking what the largest companies in history are building, how they’re making money, and how the people who run them are accumulating capital and political influence. You’ll uncover how AI is restructuring industries and reordering markets, and how governments in Washington, Brussels, and Beijing are rushing to catch up. In addition to writing agenda-setting stories for Semafor's tech and business coverage, you’ll contribute to our newsletters, shows, live journalism, and cross-platform collaborations across the newsroom. The ideal candidate has cultivated sources at the executive level inside the major AI labs, in venture capital and private equity, on Capitol Hill, and inside the White House and federal agencies — and knows how to work all of them to land stories no one else has.
