Do you want to be part of an investigative team dedicated to uncovering headline generating energy and environment stories that make a real difference?
The Greenpeace news operation is looking to recruit a talented and experienced investigative journalist to join a growing team trying to break stories that inform and transform the global environmental debate.
We’ve exposed climate sceptics willing to hide money from fossil fuel backers, revealed the wealthy landowners benefiting from farming subsidies, exposed a leaked report into serious safety failures at an oil giant, and shed light on government plans to build houses on flood plains likely to be hit by climate change. Our work has appeared on front pages in the UK and around the world, from Le Monde to O Globo. You will join a team whose stories are regularly covered by the New York Times, the BBC and other leading global news brands.
In exchange for your passion, skills and ideas you’ll have access to a toolkit of journalistic research options: our science lab, a network of supply chain experts, access to drone technology and satellite footage, vessel tracking, data experts, a Bloomberg terminal and our famous fleet of ships - not to mention a network of researchers and colleagues in dozens of countries across the globe.
You’ll tell your stories through our major media partnerships and on our growing dedicated news platform. The role will provide opportunities to develop your story-telling skills, from podcasts to videos and interactive mapping, as part of the Energydesk news team.
You don’t need to be an energy or environment specialist – but you are someone who isn’t shy about getting out of the office, cultivating sources and finding stories. You’ll be a cutting edge investigative journalist who’s as adept at sifting through complex data as you are at working in the field. You're confident in your ability to collaborate with a team of researchers and campaign specialists to deliver high impact investigations that make a real difference.
You must be able to demonstrate that you are eligible to work in the UK.
