What are the responsibilities and job description for the Reporter, Tech Deals Job at The Information in New York position at The Information?
About The Information
The Information is the go-to source of in-depth reporting for the most influential leaders in technology and business. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in San Francisco, our original, high-quality journalism has the power to inform the most consequential decisions shaping our future, and we've built a community of 700,000 active readers who depend on us to do just that. We have a financially healthy business, plenty of capital, and big ambitions to grow our team and business.
About the role
We're seeking a reporter to lead a new beat at The Information : tech M&A. For years, The Information's scrappy, highly sourced tech and venture reporters have broken news on many M&A deals, from Amazon's Twitch buyout to Google's deal for Mandiant (and several abandoned ones, too). We're looking for a reporter to join this team and bring our deal scoops to a new level. The landscape is tumultuous. This is a great chance for a reporter to be at the center of it all.
The scope of the beat will range from fire sales of venture-backed startups to Salesforce's next target, and could extend to buyouts and initial public offerings. If you geek out on deal terms and love analyzing (or want to learn) how a deal benefits some investors more than others, we're the place for you. And while deal scoops are at the heart of this role, the candidate would be encouraged to go deep with profiles of the institutions making waves on this beat, a key part of The Information's coverage.
What you'll do
- Regularly break news on merger talks, sales processes, leveraged buyouts, etc. in tech
- Frequently collaborate with our team of tech and venture reporters
- Identify the biggest stories on the beat and the most important players
- Pitch and deliver high-impact features
