The Role & Team: Business Insider's Transportation team covers big metal things that move and the industries built around them, with a special focus on aviation, cruising, and autos. The team writes a mix of breaking news, analysis, and reported stories about companies including Tesla, Ford, GM, Rivian, Delta Airlines, Boeing, United Airlines, American Airlines, Royal Caribbean, and Norwegian Cruise Lines. Reporters on the team may also produce visual features and reviews on innovative new planes, cars, and cruise ships. The senior correspondent would focus on the aviation and auto industry. They would write first-person reviews and comparisons of planes, EVs, and gas-powered vehicles. This role is ideal for someone who loves travel, as the reporter will be encouraged to pitch and take trips across the US and the world and write reviews of their experiences. They would also drive some of the most-talked-about cars on the road today, and write about their nuances. The senior correspondent should be adept at spotting industry trends and writing sharp analysis to help readers make sense of the news and how it might impact them. They should have existing sources within both industries, or experience building sources. Professional experience taking photos is not required, but you must be willing to learn.
