Journalism Job

Media Organization: ECigIntelligence

Company Description

ECigIntelligence is a news-led, analytical, and independent resource, focused on tracking regulatory change and market intelligence for the e-cigarette and tobacco-alternatives sector.
We provide essential information for professionals involved with e-cigarettes.

Our core product is our Website, consisting of regular news reports and in-depth analysis of key issues, keeping people updated on global changes to the regulatory and market landscape in a contentious and highly fragmented sector.

ECigIntelligence was founded – and is still operated today – by a team of journalists, legal professionals, and economists; we are wholly independent of the sector that we cover.

Our independence means you get access to information and frank, objective analysis that may not be available to other industry participants.

Most of our content is available to subscribers only.

Job Description

ECigIntelligence is recruiting a U.S. Correspondent to expand its American coverage. This position would be suitable for an up-and-coming journalist with self-motivation and an ability to find the information capable of giving a story a unique perspective.
Primary responsibilities will include contributing regular and timely news stories on the U.S. e-cigarette sector, especially vape stores and independent manufacturers, and on regulation at state and municipality level.
The successful candidate will have to work closely with our U.S. legal analyst and Washington DC correspondent to achieve these goals. Additionally the successful candidate should be able to contribute to our coverage of technology and product innovation, and maintain a watching brief on Canada and Latin America.
The ideal candidate would be able to write smart, concise and informative content aimed at a business readership on regulatory and market developments within the e-cigarette and reduced-risk products sector. Impeccable attention to detail is essential and the job will often involve dealing with complex legal or statistical material.
Other key skills for this position would include:
• The ability to find information and contacts from a variety of sources to get information beyond what is just provided in a press release
• The ability to meet deadlines in a consistent manner
• The ability to keep in communication on progress
• The ability to self-motivate
The position would entail an initial freelance period with a view to a permanent, full-time contract. Candidates should have a minimum of two years’ work experience in a news-oriented environment, or alternatively we will consider the combination of a journalism degree with other experience relevant to the sector.
Candidates can be based anywhere within the United States but would be expected to be able to cover all time-zones when necessary.
Salary offered would be in line with experience.
ECigIntelligence is an international online publication and analyst agency covering the rapidly evolving e-cigarette market. It has a team of around 20 with offices in Barcelona and London. Please note, we are not an e-cigarette product review site or a vaping advocacy organisation.
