Jalopnik, a blog about car culture and transportation with more than 8 million global monthly users, is seeking a creative, smart, hardworking writer to join the most-read team of gearheads on the web.

About the Role:

This person will be comfortable researching and writing about anything in the greater wheelhouse of transportation, from classic Citroëns to the latest news about Tesla to space travel. The ideal candidate will be a fast, flexible, knowledgeable journalist with a sense of humor who isn't just into cars and the things that move us, but is first and foremost someone who loves to write with a passion for making those topics fascinating to a general audience. In short, we are not seeking a car nerd—we are seeking a car evangelist.

This writer will be responsible for turning out original, engaging stories that complement and expand on Jalopnik's honest, enthusiastic and sometimes scathing editorial voice. It's a job for someone who can write multiple stories a day and also budget time for enterprise work.

The ideal candidate will be completely comfortable with the editorial process—from pitch to publication to promotion and discussion. The person we hire will also aid in Jalopnik’s fast-growing video series by coming up with video ideas, writing scripts, and even hosting videos.

The Ideal Candidate Will:

•Have at least one year of experience at a news website, blog, magazine or newspaper, although not necessarily one with an automotive focus—many of Jalopnik's top writers have come from other backgrounds.

•Have strong news judgement and the ability to respond quickly to cultural and current events with appropriate stories.

•Be someone who is comfortable turning out a great deal of work, and can balance daily news with larger breakout features.

•Be organized, detail-oriented, ambitious and comfortable at a website with a massive audience.

•Fit into Jalopnik's no-holds-barred approach to covering the auto industry and other topics.

•Have video experience, whether in production, on camera or editing.

•Reporting experience is greatly preferred.

This is a position covered under the collective bargaining agreement with the WGA-E.

G/O Media is deeply committed to fostering a transparently inclusive workplace environment, and people of color, women, people with disabilities, veterans, and LGBTQIA candidates are strongly encouraged to apply. Our company-wide mission is to reach very diverse audiences, and so, we are deeply committed to having teams and leaders that reflect this mission
