Job Description :

The New York Post delivers the best in news, sports, entertainment and pop culture with wit, irreverence, and authority. Over the past 225+ years, The Post has evolved into a multi-platform media company spanning print, digital, video, audio, app, television and commerce.

We are looking for a driven, fearless Senior Reporter to join our News Features team, focused on high-quality, high-impact investigations, exclusives and deep dives into current events. Our goal is to drive the news rather than just following what everyone else is doing — and to expose the unexpected sides of front-page hot topics.

To excel in this role, you need a proven track record of producing in-depth, multi-source stories that have moved the cultural needle. We want someone bursting with inspired ideas.

Responsibilities:

• Break exclusives, identifying and producing angles that others miss
• Turn around high quality investigative pieces on tight timelines when breaking news demands it.
• You should be equally comfortable chasing enterprise investigative projects and jumping into fast-breaking developments, always finding the sharpest angle and the most compelling way to tell the story
• Pitch fresh ideas multiple times a week — staying ahead of the curve and also creatively reacting to the news cycle
• Maintain the highest standards in reporting, ensuring accuracy and an understanding of journalistic ethics and legal standards (including source protection, verification and libel and defamation)
• This position involves some domestic travel

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of newsroom experience, with a strong focus on features writing and breaking exclusives
• Ability to produce sparkling, thorough and accurate copy on deadline
• A tenacious attitude and hunger to land the big gets
• A deep curiosity about everything from true crime to Hollywood, tech to wealth, politics to education, including national affairs and only in New York stories — and the power players in all these worlds
• A bright, clean writing voice and nimble talent for picking up the signature Post attitude and style
• An instinctive knack for getting anyone to talk and the ability to verify what they say
• At least five years of writing experience at a publication, including long-form features and interviews

Preferred Qualifications:

• An understanding of and ability to locate court filings and financial, business and real estate records to support exclusive reporting
• On-camera and/or social content creator experience

Note: The New York Post adheres to an on-site work model (subject to change based on business needs). The shift schedule for this position is Monday-Friday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. EST.
