Tech Lobbying and Influence Reporter

POLITICO is seeking an aggressive and entrepreneurial reporter to cover one of the hottest stories in the world: the political and policy collisions between government and the tech sector as Silicon Valley upends the norms of society, business and democracy. This high-profile beat will focus on lobbying and influence, from tech companies’ behind-closed-doors efforts to sway lawmakers to campaigns to shape the public narrative around so-called Big Tech. You’ll give our readers unique insight into the people driving these strategies, their motivations and who’s winning. You’ll join a team of enterprising and hard-charging tech reporters driving the conversation in Washington around antitrust, privacy, content moderation, artificial intelligence, telecom, broadband and global tussles over tech’s power. Your work will appear across all POLITICO platforms, including politico.com, our must-read newsletters and the POLITICO Pro subscription service. The ideal candidate will possess a passion for politics, a thirst for scoops, strong writing skills and experience covering the tech sector or corporate influence more generally.
