The posting

AlphaGov is seeking a Senior Staff Writer for future editorial and communications opportunities. You’ll report and write original stories that explain how public programs, research, and policy decisions affect people. We’re looking for a writer who can spot a story in a report, find the people closest to it, and bring their perspectives into an accurate, readable piece.

What you’ll do

  • Pitch and write reported features, profiles, and explanatory articles for print and digital audiences.
  • Interview researchers, public officials, frontline staff, and community members. Ask follow-up questions that uncover details readers would otherwise miss.
  • Use original documents, data, and interviews to verify claims and give readers context.
  • Manage several stories from pitch through publication, coordinating interviews, drafts, fact-checks, and editorial review.
  • Work with editors, designers, photographers, and video producers to choose the best way to tell each story.

Apply to be considered.

Requirements

  • At least five years of experience in journalism, feature writing, or a professional editorial role that includes original reporting.
  • Bachelor’s degree in journalism, communications, English, or a related field.
  • A portfolio of published work demonstrating interviewing, long-form writing, and the ability to explain complex subjects to a general audience.
  • Experience verifying facts and quotations, handling sensitive interviews with care, and meeting publication deadlines.

Benefits

Nice to have

  • Reporting experience in government, healthcare, education, workforce issues, science, or public policy.
  • Experience using public records, survey findings, or research data to develop an original story.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
