About The Information

The Information is the go-to source of in-depth reporting for the most influential leaders in technology and business. Founded in 2013 and headquartered in San Francisco, our original, high-quality journalism has the power to inform the most consequential decisions shaping our future, and we’ve built a community of 700,000 active readers who depend on us to do just that. We have a financially healthy business, plenty of capital, and big ambitions to grow our team and business.

About the role

The Information is looking for a journalist to lead coverage of the most important technology company to emerge in a generation: OpenAI. As the company behind ChatGPT and a central force in the AI revolution, OpenAI is reshaping the future of business, policy, and human interaction—and we’re looking for someone to own this story. This person will source inside and around the ChatGPT developer, covering its leaders, business, artificial intelligence breakthroughs, new products and policy initiatives, and impact on society and work.

You’ll join a collaborative, high-performing newsroom, working closely with our AI reporter Stephanie Palazzolo and partnering with seasoned journalists covering enterprise software, chips, venture capital, and finance. Together, you'll push the boundaries of tech journalism.

The Information has provided readers with extensive coverage of OpenAI, including scoops on upcoming products (e.g. web search and software that controls web browsers); the company’s move away from Microsoft; why executives last year bristled at Sam Altman’s management style; and internal projections about its unprecedented cash burn and revenue. Our team was first to report it was hitting limits with traditional model training and how its reasoning models are impacting the real world.

The company is now preparing for the arrival of a new senior leader who could one day be CEO, and it will likely conduct one of the biggest initial public offerings in history in the coming years. 

This is a unique opportunity for a reporter who wants to raise their profile and make a big impact.
