Business Insider UK is hiring a political news reporter
When the UK holds a referendum on whether or not to leave the EU, the political news reporter will share live updates with readers. If a politician sends an embarrassing tweet, he or she will be the first to see it.
The political news reporter is always thinking up an angle on the news that everyone else has missed. He or she will be responsible for monitoring UK political events and developments and reporting on them in real time across social media platforms like Twitter and Facebook, as well as on our website.
The ideal political news reporter has:
- Excellent news judgment
- The ability to write and edit quickly and accurately
- An innate obsession with getting faves on Twitter and likes on Instagram and Facebook
- One to two years of experience covering politics for a digital publication

Business Insider offers competitive compensation packages complete with benefits. This is a full-time position based in our London office.
