Job Description

We are looking for an ambitious and curious Staff Writer based in Bengaluru or Chennai who can write on tech manufacturing by covering companies like Apple, Foxconn, Tata Electronics, Dixon, etc., and also look at how policy is shaping these areas.

You will be in touch with CEOs, employees, investors, analysts, and government officials to tell those stories.

You will chronicle the expansion of some of India s biggest manufacturing companies; use policy as a lens to document the shift in business; and write stories that provide a ringside view of how India s manufacturing dreams are playing out. 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.

This is a work-from-office role. So you will need to come to the office at least three days a week.

YOU ALSO HAVE TO BE

Self-driven and ambitious, able to source original stories and insights from your network

Able to synthesise multiple reporting perspectives into a compelling, explanatory narrative

Able to see ahead of news cycles, and see what is likely to happen over a 6 12 month horizon

Able to stick your neck out with informed opinions when required

WHAT WE OFFER

One of our tenets is to offer the most competitive salaries and meaningful benefits we can to our colleagues.

Besides that, you get

The latest Apple MacBook

A flat, non-hierarchical, and open culture

Health insurance

Cutting-edge learning opportunities, whether it be on journalism or subscription products
