Researcher

We are recruiting a full-time researcher for our Hong Kong bureau.

Bureau chief

We are looking for a bureau chief to run our outpost in Culver City, working across our print, radio and online output. You will have several years' experience as a journalist, an understanding of the Monocle brand and a good knowledge of the region. You will also be as comfortable interviewing a PM as writing about restaurants and media. Spanish language skills are a distinct advantage, as is broadcast experience.

The role is based in Los Angeles but you will need to travel throughout North and South America, and the work will not follow regular hours. This is a job for somebody who has great contacts and fresh ideas, and wants to be part of a fast-growing company. It is a role that is as demanding as it is rewarding.

To apply for this position, please send a CV and covering letter to Monocle’s managing editor Tom Reynolds.
