US Journalist – Insurance (Remote)

Grow your journalism career with a global media company

Do you love talking to people? Do you pick up the phone instead of sending an email? Are you driven by chasing quotes, building a contacts book, and landing the interview others can’t?

At Key Media, we believe great journalism is built on human connection. AI is transforming how we work—but it’s your curiosity, relationships, and reporting instincts that create truly impactful stories.

This is your opportunity to join a high-performing international media company, working on our market-leading insurance portfolio, covering one of the most dynamic sectors in US business.

Why this role stands out

• 100% remote (US-based) – work from home with flexible hours
• Medical, dental benefits, EAP & 401(k)
• Global career opportunities
• Industry-leading brands – write for Insurance Business America
• Training & growth – editorial coaching + unlimited LinkedIn Learning
• Time off that grows with you – extra vacation day each year + paid volunteer day
• Travel opportunities – attend major events like IB FutureFest
• Work from anywhere – up to 12 weeks per year abroad

About the role

You’ll be reporting for Insurance Business America, a trusted and agenda-setting title read by senior decision-makers across the country.

This is a highly interview-driven role, where you’ll be:

• Writing timely, engaging articles for Insurance Business America

• Producing at least two interview-driven stories and one breaking news story with quotes per day, while booking and conducting interviews efficiently as part of your daily routine

Spending at least 60 minutes daily in talk time (phone, Teams and in person), with daily phone activity required
• Interviewing and profiling senior executives and industry leaders – often to tight deadlines
• Actively chasing contacts, building a strong network of sources and generating original, agenda‑setting story ideas
• Producing high‑quality, well‑researched news, features and analysis tailored to professional audiences
• Using AI tools as part of your workflow (research support, idea generation, data exploration, first‑draft structuring) while applying strong editorial judgment at every stage
• Collaborating with editors and management to grow online traffic, support new and existing products, and explore new markets and format

You’ll be part of a global newsroom that blends traditional reporting with modern tools—including the smart use of AI for research, idea generation, and workflow efficiency, while keeping editorial judgment firmly in human hands.

What we’re looking for

• Experience in journalism (insurance or business reporting is a plus)
• Strong interviewing skills and confidence speaking with senior stakeholders
• A proactive approach—comfortable chasing contacts and uncovering stories
• Excellent writing, news sense, and deadline discipline
• Interest in using AI as a reporting tool to enhance your work
• Collaborative, curious, and ambitious mindset
• US-based, with occasional domestic travel

At Key Media, you’ll get:

• Real access to decision-makers and market-moving stories
• A platform to build your profile and influence industry conversations
• A chance to experiment with new tools and shape the future of journalism
• Support from experienced global editors who value quality reporting

If you’re passionate about business journalism, eager to build a global portfolio and excited by the blend of traditional reporting and next-generation tools, we’d love to connect with you.
