The Information is hiring an executive to be our first head of communications, responsible for amplifying the impact of our journalism and building The Information brand.
Over the past six years, we have built a fast-growing and sustainable premium news business off the back of excellent journalism. During a period of turmoil in the industry, we’ve found a new model that we believe is critical for the future of journalism.

We have offices in New York, Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Seattle, Washington, D.C. and San Francisco.
The Information has been consistently first to major stories in technology and business and has built a strong business and brand in digital media by going against the grain. As we expand our team—both product and editorial—we’re looking for a seasoned and high-energy leader to build greater awareness around our work and its impact and the necessity of high-quality, trustworthy news.
This role works very closely with our CEO and is global, offering the opportunity to travel and learn about media markets in the U.S., Europe and Asia. The role can be based in San Francisco or New York.
