Job Description :

We are looking for a driven, fearless Senior Reporter to join our News Features team, focused on high-quality, high-impact investigations, exclusives and deep dives into current events. Our goal is to drive the news rather than just following what everyone else is doing — and to expose the unexpected sides of front-page hot topics.

To excel in this role, you need a proven track record of producing in-depth, multi-source stories that have moved the cultural needle. We want someone bursting with inspired ideas.

Responsibilities:

• Break exclusives, identifying and producing angles that others miss

• Turn around high quality investigative pieces on tight timelines when breaking news demands it.

• You should be equally comfortable chasing enterprise investigative projects and jumping into fast-breaking developments, always finding the sharpest angle and the most compelling way to tell the story

• Pitch fresh ideas multiple times a week — staying ahead of the curve and also creatively reacting to the news cycle

• Maintain the highest standards in reporting, ensuring accuracy and an understanding of journalistic ethics and legal standards (including source protection, verification and libel and defamation)

• This position involves some domestic travel

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of newsroom experience, with a strong focus on features writing and breaking exclusives

• Ability to produce sparkling, thorough and accurate copy on deadline

• A tenacious attitude and hunger to land the big gets

• A deep curiosity about everything from true crime to Hollywood, tech to wealth, politics to education, including national affairs and only in New York stories — and the power players in all these worlds

• A bright, clean writing voice and nimble talent for picking up the signature Post attitude and style

• An instinctive knack for getting anyone to talk and the ability to verify what they say

• At least five years of writing experience at a publication, including long-form features and interviews

Preferred Qualifications:

• An understanding of and ability to locate court filings and financial, business and real estate records to support exclusive reporting

• On-camera and/or social content creator experience

Note: The New York Post adheres to an on-site work model (subject to change based on business needs). The shift schedule for this position is Monday-Friday, 10 a.m.-6 p.m. EST.

Base Pay Range: $95,000 - $115,000

For bonus-eligible roles, targets are determined based on multiple considerations, including market benchmarks and individual contributions.
