Tech and Mobility Correspondent (Level 1 Journalist)

Reuters is looking for a reporter to take on the new role of Tech and Mobility Correspondent with a focus on Elon Musk and his business interests. The world's richest person, Musk revolutionized the electric car industry with Tesla and used his fortune to finance SpaceX and private rocket ships. He has a chip startup that aims to connect human brains to computers, owns an underground tunneling company seeking to build hyperloops to solve big-city traffic problems and may be looking at other acquisitions in mining and materials. His views on everything from securities regulation to the risk of population collapse and the prospect of colonizing Mars are topics of global interest.

The ideal candidate will have a proven record of high-impact and exclusive stories, a strong ability to cultivate a wide-range of sources in Musk's orbit and be adept at document and data-driven investigative reporting. The reporter must be comfortable with complex technology - from rocket science to artificial intelligence - and understand financial accounts and markets. This job is based in San Francisco.

• Break news and write deeply about Musk's plans, challenges, and successes as he seeks to "accelerate the world's transition to sustainable energy" and reinvent or disrupt other industries
