CAREERS AT THE KEN
Staff Writer (Internet) ABOUT THE KEN
The Ken
is India s first and largest subscriptions-based media company. Established in October 2016, we publish deeply reported, analytical, and well-narrated stories every day across formats such as longform features, newsletters, and podcasts. Our subscriber community, the majority of whom are in India, comprise innovative and successful entrepreneurs and senior executives; venture capitalists; policymakers; MBA students; and dozens of companies.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We are looking for an ambitious and curious Staff Writer based in Bengaluru who can focus on tech and internet businesses, such as food delivery, e-commerce, and streaming, while also looking at how policy is shaping these areas.
The reporter will tell stories that require an understanding of company strategy and culture and of the movers and shakers in these sectors. You will be in touch with founders, investment bankers, investors, employees, and analysts to tell those stories.
You will chronicle the expansion of some of India s biggest internet firms; identify rising companies; use policy as a lens to document the shift in business; and also make an impact. We value original ideas, exclusive insight, and scoops that matter.
WHO CAN APPLY
We started The Ken with the desire to create a place where talented, ethical, and ambitious people could tell important stories. That s why both journalists and non-journalists who want to learn and improve; tell their own original stories; and develop and hone their own points of view can apply.
Journalists: You should have at least five years of experience writing on businesses, with a strong network of sources.
Non-journalists: If you re an industry expert with a talent for writing and a knack for simplifying complex ideas, we want to hear from you, too.
YOU WILL BE EXPECTED TO
- Write at least three sharp, deeply reported stories each month, and bring fresh, original insights to our range of industry-leading newsletters.
- Build a deep and wide source network with employees, leaders, founders and investors in the companies you track.
- Have story ideas at all times. The best stories are told when ideas are not thrust upon, but come from an innate desire to tell them by working your sources.
- Come up with accurate, exclusive and counterintuitive stories that are well reported and well analysed in your beat.
- Quickly react to developments and explore newer angles to deliver a sharp and insightful story.
- Be innovative in exploring newer ways of storytelling and formats.
