Company: POLITICO

　　POLITICO is looking for a policy reporter to cover health care in Europe.

　　As part of our growing newsroom, you'll have the chance to cover a major regulatory battle as the pharmaceutical industry fights back against an EU proposal that would seriously dent its profits - and, it claims, its ability to compete with rivals in the U.S. and China.

　　This is a diverse beat that touches on health tech and global health stories alongside the technicalities of medicines regulation.

　　Working with three other reporters, you'll share responsibility for producing an engaging morning newsletter for our POLITICO Pro subscribers, as well as live news updates throughout the day. You'll pitch stories to the Health Care Editor for both subscribers and for our free website and print edition.

　　The successful candidate must demonstrate the ability to understand a complex and technical beat, and have a track record of rigorous reporting, source-building and scoops. They should instinctively be a team player, with an understanding of how policy is made and influenced by people within governments, lobby groups and industry.

　　This is a full-time role based in our Brussels newsroom.
