Global Correspondent
Dubai-Based | Full-Time | Extensive International Travel
About Robot24.com
Robot24.com is the global news platform leader dedicated exclusively to robotics.
We report from the places where the future of robotics is actually being built inside robotics companies, factories, laboratories, research facilities, major industry events and real-world deployments across the globe.
We are now looking for an exceptional Global Correspondent to take on one of the most important journalistic positions within Robot24.com.
This person will become a key international representative of our platform traveling around the world to sit down with the CEOs, founders and executives behind the world’s leading robotics companies and bring their stories, technologies and strategies to our global audience.
This is not a traditional desk-based journalism position. Your newsroom is the world.
One week you may be interviewing the founder of a humanoid robotics company in China. The next, you could be inside a robotics factory in the United States, speaking with engineers in South Korea or reporting from a major industry event in Europe.
The Role
As our Global Correspondent, you will represent Robot24.com at the highest level.
We are looking for someone who can walk into a room with a CEO, understand the business and technology in front of them, and conduct an intelligent, confident and engaging conversation.
You must be able to go beyond a prepared list of questions. We want a journalist who listens, reacts, challenges when appropriate and knows when an answer deserves a follow-up question.
Before every interview, you will be expected to deeply research the company, its products, its technology, its competitors and the wider story behind it.
Previous robotics expertise is not required. What matters is intellectual curiosity and the ability to learn quickly. We can teach robotics. We cannot teach five years of journalistic instinct, confidence and interviewing experience overnight.
What You’ll Do
Who We’re Looking For
You are first and foremost an experienced journalist and interviewer.
You should have:
A robotics background is not required.
We are not necessarily looking for a robotics expert who can present. We are looking for an outstanding journalist who can become a robotics expert.
You must, however, have the willingness and intellectual curiosity to immerse yourself in the subject. When you interview a CEO, we expect you to understand what their company builds, why it matters, who their competitors are and what questions the audience genuinely wants answered.
A Key Role at Robot24.com
This is not simply another presenting position.
The Global Robotics Correspondent will become one of the key journalistic faces of Robot24.com internationally and will represent our brand in front of the people shaping the global robotics industry.
You will have access to companies, technologies and decision-makers that most people only read about.
You will travel to where the stories are happening, meet the people building the next generation of robots and bring those conversations directly to a global audience.
For the right journalist, this is an opportunity to build a highly visible international profile while becoming deeply embedded in one of the fastest-developing industries in the world.
