The position, or positions, will suit experienced journalists who can work independently (ours is a virtual office), and who have an ability to not just write news, but also break news, be accurate and incisive, interview key players, and contribute interesting analysis and commentary.

We are not just targeting the industry, we are also looking to provide coverage that engages a broader audience.

This role will be primarily focused on the generation of content, but will also include copy editing, social media engagement, preparation of podcasts and coordination with contributors, as well as liaison with the rest of the RenewEconomy and One Step Off the Grid team.

This is a great opportunity for a motivated person, or persons, to write for a rapidly growing online media organisation (monthly page views around one million, unique visitors 350,000), and be at the heart of an important and exciting technology transition.

If you are interested, please send a brief resume and introduction, including an outline of your motivation for applying for the role, to editor@reneweconomy.com.au.
