About the role

Axios is hiring a Politics Enterprise Editor to help set the agenda for Axios’ political coverage and deliver distinctive, high-impact journalism. You’ll spot trends, connect dots across beats, and turn smart ideas into must-read reporting. Ideal candidates bring reporting experience in a fast-paced newsroom, a track record of big scoops, and excellent writing for online and newsletters; a belief in Smart Brevity as Axios’ core style is essential.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
