POLITICO’s E&E News is seeking an eager and enterprising reporter to join our Congress team to cover how the new power dynamic in Washington will reshape energy, environment and climate policy.

Our E&E Congress team is a collegial and dynamic group within POLITICO’s newsroom that breaks news, crafts features and writes explainers that make sense of it all on Capitol Hill.

1. Cover the new power dynamics in Washington as they relate to energy, environment, and climate policy.
2. Break news, craft features, and write explainers about Capitol Hill activities.
3. Collaborate with E&E News and POLITICO policy teams to ensure timely and contextual storytelling.

Minimum Qualifications:

1. Knowledge of Congress is a must.
2. Experience covering Capitol Hill is preferred.
3. In your application, please include a resume, cover letter, and six clips demonstrating a track record of scoops, enterprising reporting, and illuminating writing relevant to this beat.
