The posting

About the Role

We’re looking for a highly motivated News & Global Affairs Copywriter to help us create short-form content that our team will record and publish on a frequent basis. This role is ideal for a candidate with a strong experience in journalism, global affairs, political science, international relations, economics, or media—and who thrives on moving fast when news breaks.

Your job: track current events in real time and turn them into clear, concise, and compelling copy—often same-day.

If you’re the kind of person who refreshes multiple news sites before breakfast, you’ll feel right at home.

Key Responsibilities

  • Monitor breaking news and developing global stories across politics, economics, geopolitics, tech, and culture
  • Write concise, accurate, and engaging scripts/outlines
  • Summarize complex stories into clear, digestible talking points without losing nuance
  • Flag important developments and suggest story ideas proactively
  • Revise copy quickly based on editorial feedback (speed matters)
  • Maintain a neutral, factual tone aligned with journalistic standards

How to Apply

  • A brief cover note explaining your interest in current events and this role
  • 1–3 writing samples (published articles, essays, or news summaries are ideal)

  • Familiarity with major news outlets (e.g., Reuters, AP, FT, WSJ, NYT, Economist, etc.)
  • Self-starter who can work independently and communicate clearly
  • Previous experience in journalism, newsletters, or digital media
  • Experience writing for audio or on-camera delivery
  • Knowledge of geopolitics, finance, or international policy
  • Ability to work across time zones or outside standard business hours when news breaks

Benefits

Compensation & Benefits

  • Salaried at $65,000 - $80,000 USD per year
  • Competitive medical, dental, and vision insurance plans.
  • Life insurance and 401(k) retirement plan.

  • 1-year subscription to Audible.
  • Full access to Impact Theory University.

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.
