The mission of The New York Times is to seek the truth and help people understand the world. That means independent journalism is at the heart of all we do as a company. It’s why we have a world-renowned newsroom that sends journalists to report on the ground from nearly 160 countries. It’s why we focus deeply on how our readers will experience our journalism, from print to audio to a world-class digital and app destination. And it’s why our business strategy centers on making journalism so good that it’s worth paying for.
The New York Times International Investigations team is looking for a relentlessly curious investigative journalist with experience mining open source intelligence and data.
Our team tackles the biggest, hardest and most ambitious stories with nimbleness and an eye toward accountability. We’re looking for candidates who are energized by the most challenging puzzles and who have the creativity and open-source investigative skills needed to solve them.
Sometimes you’d work alone, pursuing stories that you conceived; more often you’d work with investigative reporters, foreign correspondents and other colleagues. The job requires the ability to work collaboratively at multiple speeds.
We’re looking for someone who has a toolbox full of skills, an eagerness to learn more and a track record of unearthing surprising, exclusive information. This is a job for a hunter.
Our team pursues stories outside the United States. This job will be based in London or one of our European bureaus, and will report to the international investigations editor.
