Do you want to make your name researching and reporting on an emerging policy area? Do you want to investigate, interview and analyse rather than re-writing press releases?

That’s what we do at PolicyTracker. We are the only newsletter devoted to spectrum policy, an increasingly important part of the telecoms, broadcasting, satellite and technology sectors. A highly respected publication, we have been in existence for 20 years and all the major players in the field are subscribers. We also have a subscription-based research service and provide consultancy services.

Who We’re Looking For

We need a journalist who can identify the issues that matter to companies, regulators, and government, and then convert these into news, features, and analysis pieces. These will be delivered via our subscription website policytracker.com. Take afree 24-hour trial to find out more! (Mention that you’re a job applicant)

You will also work on the website for our SignalTracker mobile app, where the target audience is consumers rather than the regulatory specialists who use PolicyTracker.

This post is ideally suited to a graduate with journalism qualifications and some professional experience. Most of your time will be spent writing articles and brief summaries, but you can also contribute to our research activities. The beat is global and there are opportunities for travel.

This is not a working from home position and is based in our offices in Vauxhall in Central London. For the right candidate, we will offer a highly competitive salary.

Our staff go on to big things — former post-holders went to work as consultants and in policy analysis for regulators and trade bodies.

Candidate requirements:

Interest in regulatory policy
Can develop industry contacts
Ability to generate new story ideas
Appreciation of the pan-European and global aspects of spectrum policy
Can write quick, clear and accurate copy
Can use simple content management systems
Good sense of the target audience for our products
Good numerical skills
Preferably NCTJ qualified
Experience of business journalism an advantage
Educated to degree level or above
Second language an advantage
Willingness to travel
Some out of hours working required
