Senior Staff Writer

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.
