Job description
AI Reporter
Tactical Report provides intelligence reports on the defense, energy, and economy sectors, as well as on the flourishing Artificial Intelligence (AI) business across the Middle East and North Africa,
We are looking for a reporter who can access the information we need to cover developments in the AI sector and to break exclusive stories for our readers. Our readers are mostly government and decision-makers who act on what we publish. So, accuracy matters more than speed, and quality more than quantity.
The reporter's work is investigative: telling what has happened and what may happen, and helping our analysts understand what drives developments and thus anticipate what follows.
Responsibilities:
- Developing and growing a reliable source network close to key players
- Breaking exclusive stories for our advisory publications, with responsibility and commitment to accuracy and objectivity
- Verifying information against the required standards before passing it to editors
- Working closely with our editors and researchers on the selection of topics and sources
Essential Requirements:
- At least two years of experience in covering AI-related matters in the defense, energy, and economy sectors in the GCC states, notably Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar.
- Enough experience to distinguish routine developments from significant ones.
- The ability to engage with decision-making circles lawfully
- A grounding in geopolitical affairs and an understanding of economic and fiscal policy
- Fluency in Arabic or English
A plus, but not required:
- The ability to cover one or more countries outside the GCC region but closely tied to it, such as the United States, France, Italy, Germany, China, Japan, or South Korea.
- The ability to respond to urgent information requests.
How to apply?
Applications should include:
- A CV
- A short letter on the subjects the applicant can cover in the AI business, and copies of the reports the applicant has previously prepared or published
Applications to: [email protected]
