LinkedIn is the world’s largest professional network, built to help members of all backgrounds and experiences achieve more in their careers. Our vision is to create economic opportunity for every member of the global workforce. Every day our members use our products to make connections, discover opportunities, build skills and gain insights.
We believe amazing things happen when we work together in an environment where everyone feels a true sense of belonging, and that what matters most in a candidate is having the skills needed to succeed. It inspires us to invest in our talent and support career growth. Join us to challenge yourself with work that matters.
This role will be based in either New York, Sunnyvale, San Francisco, or Home Office depending on which location the applicant chosen for the role is currently residing.
To better reflect the world around us and to help create economic opportunity for aspiring journalists, LinkedIn has established an Editorial Fellowship, a 9 month program that will support the career development of two journalists.
LinkedIn’s editors are part of a global news operation highlighting the business news and insights that professionals need to stay informed and build their voice. Editors create, curate, and cultivate content in seven languages through posts, articles, trending news summaries, LinkedIn Lists, Daily Rundown, and more, covering topics ranging from healthcare and frontline workers to financial services and tech/venture capital.
The LinkedIn Editorial Fellows will spend the term researching, writing and cultivating voices alongside editors who have previously worked at The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Fortune, Reuters, Wired and more.
This position has the opportunity to be fully remote. The duration of the Fellowship is full-time (40 hours per week) from fall until next summer.
