About this opportunity
Business Insider’s Singapore bureau is hiring a junior business reporter passionate about technology and AI, with a strong instinct for identifying what matters to our readers in a fast-moving news cycle. This is a full-time role based in Singapore.
The Team & Role:
Business Insider’s Singapore bureau is a small, dynamic team that jumps on major news, pivots quickly, and takes a highly selective approach to angles and framing.
This reporter will cover how companies innovate, compete, and grow, as well as how broader economic and technological shifts impact businesses, workers, and consumers. This role includes covering the biggest developments shaping the global tech industry, especially the impact of AI.
Coverage areas may include large multinational corporations, emerging companies, and evolving sectors such as technology and finance. The reporter will follow key players across industries, track market trends, and develop stories through interviews, data, and on-the-ground reporting.
Reporters at BI pitch original ideas — sourcing interviews and spotting trends, not rewriting press releases — while also taking assignments. They are expected to follow their beat closely, report accurately, and analyze what developments mean for readers.
This role reports to the news editor in the Singapore bureau. It will be based in Singapore and will be hybrid (a mix of remote and in-office days). Our working hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Key responsibilities:
- Pitch, report, and write daily news stories (300–450 words)
- Identify sharp angles on tech and AI news
- Cover fast-moving developments with speed, clarity, and accuracy
- Report through interviews with analysts, insiders, and sources
- Has the opportunity to produce occasional longer features (700–1,200 words)
- Build and maintain a strong source network
- Track trends across AI, Big Tech, and startups
- Collaborate with global teams on co-bylines
The ideal candidate:
- Thrives under tight deadlines and juggles multiple stories
- Writes clean, clear copy that simplifies complex topics
- Is deeply engaged with tech, AI, and business news
- Advances stories with original reporting and analysis
- Balances pitching ideas with executing assignments
- Has strong journalistic fundamentals (accuracy, fairness, attribution)
- Actively builds sources and expertise on their beat
- Produces high-quality work with minimal supervision
Salary & Benefits:
- Competitive salary package
- PTO and paid public holidays
- Corporate insurance, including hospitalization and dental
- Hybrid working arrangement
