About the role
About The Role:
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Infrastructure Investor team as a Senior Reporter in our New York office! The senior reporter will play a key part – together with Infrastructure Investor's Americas editor and Editor-in-Chief – in driving our North American coverage, across short and long-form formats.
The role enjoys a good degree of autonomy in that the person performing it is expected to take the lead in generating story ideas, features and so forth, based on a strong contact book. Ability to establish and maintain relationships with key managers, investors and advisors is crucial to the role. As is the ability to leverage those relationships to produce exclusive, proprietary content that is unavailable elsewhere.
Responsibilities and duties:
Write and post news, features, op-eds, and multimedia items on a regular basis.
Pitch content ideas and canvass the latest trends and developments in the asset class.

Host, transcribe and write roundtables.
Constant interaction with the market, keeping in touch with existing sources and developing new contacts to consolidate brand awareness and cultivate stories.
Ensure optimal use of complementary data, involving close collaboration with Research & Analytics, where appropriate.
When appropriate, collaborate with the PEI Events team, and moderate discussions at events hosted by the Company.

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.
