About the role

Gov Exec seeks a reporter to cover emerging technologies in the federal government, including AI and quantum computing, with focus on policy and key officials. The role covers the White House, OMB and civilian agencies. The ideal candidate will have strong reporting, the ability to explain complex tech stories to a broad audience, and a track record of deadline-driven journalism in a federal tech context. Hybrid remote/work options in the DC area are available.

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.
