About The Position

This role is for a Journalist 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 will be writing timely, engaging articles. You will produce at least two interview-driven stories and one breaking news story with quotes per day, while booking and conducting interviews efficiently as part of your daily routine. You will spend at least 60 minutes daily in talk time (phone, Teams and in person), with daily phone activity required. You will interview and profile senior executives and industry leaders – often to tight deadlines. You will actively chase contacts, build a strong network of sources and generate 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.
