Who we are
Semafor is a global news platform for an increasingly complex world in which consumers are overwhelmed by too many news sources and unsure what to trust. We are building Semafor to enable world-class journalists to deliver reporting and insights with rigor in journalistic forms that ensure a new level of transparency. Our editors and reporters distill the most important stories from all over in formats that uncover the forces shaping the stories, explain the interests behind polarizing narratives, and replenish the stock of shared facts. As a global platform, Semafor recognizes that smart people can disagree and that informed readers need to understand alternative points of view from competing centers of power and culture in a multi-polar world.

About the role
AI, politics, private credit, supply shocks, and other global forces are upending the world of business and finance, reordering how money moves around the globe.
We're looking for an unbeatable reporter to break big stories on the bleeding edge of Wall Street and across global markets— private investing, hedge funds, banking, prediction markets, and private equity.
This is a big-game-hunting role where you won’t be asked to match stories readily available on the internet. Instead, you'll follow your sources to memorable scoops and places where other reporters aren't going. In addition to breaking news, you'll write reported columns and views that actually say something — smart, original takes that help our readers understand what's really happening and why it matters. You'll take swings at stories that need more time, conduct high-profile interviews with some of the most powerful people in global business and finance, and bring your unique voice to Semafor's briefings, live journalism, and shows, as well as on TV, podcasts, and other media appearances.
