Aviation Reporter

POLITICO is seeking an enterprising, aggressive reporter to cover the future of the skies – writing about everything from drones to airlines to the uncharted territory of commercial space. You’ll join an ambitious, tight-knit team covering the politics and policy of every realm of transportation, including impacts to commerce, safety, climate and more. You’ll dig into regulatory filings, chase lawmakers on Capitol Hill and track corporate influence. Your work will appear across all POLITICO platforms, including our Morning Transportation newsletter, POLITICO Pro and politico.com. The ideal candidate will be a deeply curious self-starter with exemplary news judgment, a track record of delivering scoops and a demonstrated ability to write with authority on complicated subjects. You should be comfortable working collaboratively and must be able to work quickly and efficiently in a fast-moving newsroom.
