Are you ready to tell the stories behind global business? If so, Key Media is the place for you. AI is changing our world, but human connections and relationships are more important than ever to produce engaging storytelling, insightful articles, and world-leading B2B coverage. This is your chance to join a high‑performing international media company with trusted business brands, ambitious growth plans, and a newsroom that’s innovating with AI while staying true to quality journalism. At Key Media, we’re looking to connect with talented journalists in multiple regions (especially the US and Canada) for current and upcoming opportunities across our portfolio of B2B titles.

You’ll join a global editorial team that values original reporting, strong relationships with sources and a proactive, ideas‑driven approach.

Our editorial roles typically involve: • Writing timely, engaging articles for a portfolio of B2B titles (e.g. Wealth Professional, HRD, Insurance Business, Mortgage Professional, Investment News and others) • Producing at least two interview-driven stories and one breaking news story with quotes per day, while booking and conducting interviews efficiently as part of your daily routine Spending at least 60 minutes daily in talk time (phone, Teams and in person), with daily phone activity required • Interviewing and profiling senior executives and industry leaders – often to tight deadlines • Actively chasing contacts, building a strong network of sources and generating original, agenda‑setting story ideas • Producing high‑quality, well‑researched news, features and analysis tailored to professional audiences • Using AI tools as part of your workflow (research support, idea generation, data exploration, first‑draft structuring) while applying strong editorial judgment at every stage • Collaborating with editors and management to grow online traffic, support new and existing products, and explore new markets and format About you • You’re an experienced journalist or high‑potential early‑career reporter with a genuine interest in business and professional services markets • You’re a confident communicator – on the page, on the phone and in person • You’re comfortable conducting interviews, chasing hard‑to‑reach contacts, fronting client or stakeholder meetings and networking at industry events • You bring a “can‑do” attitude, strong news sense and commitment to high editorial standards • You’re curious, adaptable and excited about learning and working with AI tools as they evolve • Experience in one or more of our core sectors (HR, insurance, mortgage, finance, legal, safety) is a plus, but not essential if you bring the right mindset and willingness to learn If you’re passionate about business journalism, eager to build a global portfolio and excited by the blend of traditional reporting and next‑generation tools, we’d love to connect with you.
