About The Position

This is an opportunity to join a high-performing international media company, working on our market-leading insurance portfolio, covering one of the most dynamic sectors in US business. You’ll be reporting for Insurance Business America, a trusted and agenda-setting title read by senior decision-makers across the country. This is a highly interview-driven role, where you’ll be writing timely, engaging articles, producing at least two interview-driven stories and one breaking news story with quotes per day. You will spend at least 60 minutes daily in talk time (phone, Teams and in person), with daily phone activity required. You will be interviewing and profiling senior executives and industry leaders – often to tight deadlines, actively chasing contacts, building a strong network of sources and generating original, agenda-setting story ideas. You will produce high-quality, well-researched news, features and analysis tailored to professional audiences. You will use AI tools as part of your workflow (research support, idea generation, data exploration, first-draft structuring) while applying strong editorial judgment at every stage. You will collaborate with editors and management to grow online traffic, support new and existing products, and explore new markets and formats. You’ll be part of a global newsroom that blends traditional reporting with modern tools—including the smart use of AI for research, idea generation, and workflow efficiency, while keeping editorial judgment firmly in human hands.
