ABOUT THE ROLE

Fast Company is seeking a Senior Writer to join its Technology team. The ideal candidate will be an experienced journalist with deep knowledge of Silicon Valley’s power players, sharp instincts for compelling tech narratives, and a relentless drive to break news. This role calls for a skilled storyteller with strong relationships in the tech world, a keen understanding of how technology drives innovation, and the editorial judgment to separate hype from substance. Fast Company does not aim to cover every tech headline. Instead, the editorial team focuses on original, distinctive reporting that reflects the brand’s mission : exploring how innovation is reshaping business, culture, and society. The writer’s beat will be tailored to their expertise, complementing the strengths of the existing team. The team is especially interested in candidates who can surface and deliver stories that rise above the noise—by spotting high-potential topics early, offering fresh framing, and providing unique value, all while working at internet speed. This is a key opportunity to help shape the voice of Fast Company’s Technology section and further its reputation for smart, forward-looking journalism. The role will be based in the Bay area or follow a 3-day hybrid schedule (Tuesday-Thursday onsite) in the New York City office. This position is covered under the Writers Guild of America East Collective Bargaining Agreement. Salary range : $88,500 - $110,000 + bonus eligible. Compensation may vary based on relevant experience, skills, industry, and education.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

Source and write deeply reported, ambitious features with exclusive information about the tech industry. Add smart, quick turn analysis to breaking tech news based on your reporting and sources. Expand Fast Company’s Tech section’s stable of branded programs and lists—like Next Big Things in Tech or the AI20—by creating and owning new offerings. Collaborate with editors and colleagues to share leads, shape coverage, and identify high-impact stories that drive subscriptions to Fast Company’s Premium membership. Occasionally contribute to Fast Company’s print magazine, franchises, and recognition programs. Represent Fast Company at live events, in media appearances, and on podcasts or video.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

An enterprising reporter with a genuine fascination for how technology intersects with business and culture, and a strong understanding of the shifting power structures within Big Tech. 6+ years of experience in daily journalism, preferably covering the tech industry. The ability to generate original story ideas based on primary reporting and active source-building. A strong list of existing sources and track record of uncovering new information. Established relationships within the tech sector, particularly with founders, executives, investors, and other key industry figures. Superior writing and reporting skills, and an ability to conceive and package imaginative, innovative stories and find fresh angles that differentiate Fast Company from other sources of tech coverage. Excellent news judgment and the ability to distill complex topics into accessible, engaging narratives. Applicants must be authorized to work for ANY employer in the U.S. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment visa at this time.
