About Desk Editor

  We are looking for Desk Editors to edit and reshape stories on global megacaps such as Apple, Amazon and Microsoft as well as some of the most vibrant midsized companies that could become tomorrow's global giants. We are looking for talented editors to work out of our bureau in Bangalore, but we will also consider suitable applications from those looking to work remotely in India. Editors working in a hybrid set-up from Bangalore would be expected to work across shifts covering daylight and occasional overnight hours, while those with the relevant experience seeking to do the job purely from a remote location would be expected to cover largely U.S. daylight hours (India overnight hours).

The Bangalore Desk is an integral part of this operation, editing every story produced in the bureau and providing hands-on editorial guidance to hundreds of reporters who are covering companies from Sydney to San Francisco.
