  • A digital-first mindset and voracious reading habits.
  • Interest in autos coverage and the desire to define the beat.
  • The ability to work quickly and collaboratively as part of a tight-knit, fast-paced team.
  • Fortune’s U.S. headquarters is in New York City. This role is based in the U.S., and candidates should have authorization to work in the U.S. Candidates based in the NYC area or near one of our other offices will be required to work in the office 5 days per week.

A few of Fortune’s perks and benefits:

  • 20 vacation days and 2 personal days on top of 11 company holidays and an honor-based sick leave policy
  • Health, dental, and vision coverage (90% paid for individuals and families), along with flexible spending accounts where Fortune contributes to your HSA
  • 401(k) plan
  • Generous parental leave
  • Dependent care, commuter, and cell phone benefits
  • Tuition reimbursement program
  • A commitment to an open, inclusive, and diverse work culture

Location: This role will be based in NYC with 5 days/week in the office. 

Some great candidates may not fit neatly into what we’ve described above or have key skills we haven’t thought of. If that’s you, don’t hesitate to apply and tell us about yourself.
