The Messenger is looking for a gearhead to lead its U.S. auto coverage. You will know the difference between torque and horsepower and how each is measured. You will know the difference between Tesla’s production and delivery numbers and will be able to explain what it means to consumers when they are up or down.
You will know all the lead product managers at GM, Ford, Tesla and Stellantis (and will have their personal cells on speed dial). You’ll have a list of inside contacts at the UAW and other labor unions and will scoop news of pending discord ahead of competitors. You’ll have contacts at the newest EV makers as well as the bankruptcy attorneys wrapping up last year’s hottest SPACs and IPOs. You’ll be able to take all of that expertise to quickly turn the latest breaking news or in-depth feature – all with eloquence and authority.
