Deputy Technology Editor

Deputy Technology Editor

POLITICO is seeking a creative and entrepreneurial editor to help lead its coverage of technology one of the most consequential and fastest-moving stories on the planet.

Our team covers the relationship between the tech industry and government as the two power bases rapidly converge. From Capitol Hill and the White House to state governments and Silicon Valley itself, we track the way the collision of tech and politics shapes everything from AI to industrial policy to our political discourse all set against the global contest to dominate the next wave of AI growth.

You'll work with our Global Technology Editor and our Washington staff, as well as a wide cast of colleagues in major state capitals, Canada and Europe, to edit competitive daily scoops on Congress and the administration, as well as pulling back to brainstorm original, insightful deep dives into the bigger trends driving the moment.

Tech is a fast-moving beat that rewards imagination and curiosity, and to that end you'll also help POLITICO craft new coverage lines, products and approaches to meet the challenge with the highest possible impact.

We believe the best journalists not only report the news but hold those in power accountable for their actions with the definition of "power" being reshaped every year and we're looking for someone to help a team of creative and enterprising reporters achieve that goal.

What You'll Do :

• Assign and edit breaking news for both subscribers and the POLITICO homepage
• Plan and edit original, in-depth stories that take readers inside the relationship between the tech industry, governments and the public
• Work with colleagues across the Washington newsroom to guide this coverage across POLITICO's platforms : Politico.com, our must-read newsletters and our premium subscriber service
• Work with POLITICO's newsrooms in California and overseas to build out our transatlantic presence on tech policy
• Work across POLITICO's teams to brainstorm events, big-idea showcases, and new approaches to the coverage
