Reporter, Explainers & Trends

Forbes is growing its Explainers and Trends desk. The ideal candidate should be a news obsessive with a passion for going deeper to first understand, and then explain, the big issues of the day. The challenge for this desk is to think creatively about current events and find interesting ways to explain them in clear, definitive ways. Some pieces will require original reporting, while others will require targeted research. Many ideas will be driven by news of the day and an informed understanding of what people want to know. Others will be from reports about what Forbes readers are most interested in reading. Some story decisions will be trend-driven, but others will be from good editorial instincts, anticipating what people want to know. Top candidates are generalists who can write about anything, though specific area expertise specific to Forbes (business, finance, entrepreneurship, technology) will be a major plus.
