Heatmap Is Hiring a Senior Reporter

The climate media startup Heatmap News is looking for a veteran, ambitious reporter to lead its coverage of the intersection of renewable energy projects and politics.

This writer will report to the editor-in-chief and be tasked with reporting on how local and national politics are helping or hindering clean energy projects across the country. They should be well-sourced, deft at navigating data, and able to traverse government websites and polls to extract insights. They should also be knowledgeable about tax incentives and permitting issues — words like 45x and the interconnection queue should mean something.

The salary minimum is $80,000 and the maximum is $110,000. Competitive benefits, unlimited paid time off, and a generous equity plan, which gives employees a real stake in the company, are also offered. This position is remote.

Interested candidates should send a brief cover letter and resume to editors@heatmap.news.

Heatmap News is a new media platform with a team of alums from The Week, The Atlantic, Vox, Grid, and Grist focused on the biggest story of our time: climate change.
