Editor for electrive global

Electric mobility and technologies are thriving, so do you know your way around the industry, and would you like to be involved? Join our e-mobility specialist media outlet and become part of a team of journalists covering technical and political developments across the global electric transport industry every day.

Our workplace offers flexibility, trust, and the opportunity to expand your news writing and reporting skills within a collaborative environment. At the same time, we’d like to see you knowledgeable about the world of electric mobility and prepared to adapt to editorial processes while staying dedicated to excellence and accuracy in reporting.

The role can be freelance or employed and part-time or full-time, so you will start mainly covering topics within our existing writer pool and may develop into a staff writer in future.

This could be an ideal role for an online journalist based in Berlin, but can work just about anywhere else in the world. You may also apply as an e-mobility blogger wanting to go deeper into journalism or as a more experienced editor.

We are a dynamic and friendly team and will provide training, yet will expect you to have the basics down already.
