Venture Capital/ Startups Editor

Insider is hiring an editor to lead our venture capital and startups coverage. Silicon Valley's startup scene is exploding, with investors from all over the world competing to find and fund the next billion-dollar "unicorn" companies. Business Insider is looking for an editor to work with reporters and dive headfirst into the frenzied world of innovation, money, and hubris. The ideal candidate is eager to publish stories on the people and deals at the center of the story, curious to explore the ways powerful tech interests are influencing what gets funded and what doesn’t, and alert to the downsides of the startup boom. The ideal candidate for this role will be comfortable with a wide range of story formats and turnaround times, and a pro at guiding collaborative work. Familiarity with the variety of metrics and analytics used in a digital newsroom is a plus.
