1 big thing: We are hiring a reporter to be our subject matter expert on electricity and the future of energy.
Why it matters: Electricity is easy to ignore — until it's gone or expensive. This reporter will reveal the invisible system powering modern life, and help readers understand why some of the biggest stories in business and technology increasingly come down to a deceptively simple question: Where will the power come from?
Go deeper: In this role you will make an impact through the following responsibilities:
Worthy of your time: Ideal candidates will embody an entrepreneurial spirit and passion for Axios’ mission and have the following skills:
Important: Starting salary for this role is in the range of $100,000 - $150,000 and is dependent on numerous factors, including but not limited to location, work experience, and skills. This range does not include other compensation benefits. Axios' compensation philosophy takes into account cost of labor differentials across the country. Because this is a remote-optional job posting, this salary range takes into account all possible locations within the United States, but candidates will only be eligible for the salary range for their location.

No. Axios is Remote-First: most current openings are posted as fully remote, but a minority are anchored to a named metro, mostly local advertising sales and some events work. The local advertising ads state outright that in-market presence is essential. Arlington, Virginia is the only physical office Axios names on its own job board, and one evergreen talent-pool posting for the events team is listed as hybrid in Washington DC.
No. Every open requisition carries an internal location value of "USA," and there is no visa or sponsorship language anywhere on the job board. Inside the country there are no state-level exclusions, though individual roles sometimes carry a regional tag such as East Coast, and Axios publishes no company-wide timezone overlap requirement.
Pay is location-based by stated policy: the company says its "compensation philosophy takes into account the cost of labor differentials across the country," so a posted range is a national envelope and the slice you are eligible for depends on where you live. Two practical consequences. Bands are wide, with published examples such as $100,000 to $150,000 and $75,000 to $125,000. And Axios posts a range even in states with no pay disclosure law, including Texas and Florida listings, so nearly every opening arrives with a number attached.
The benefits block on nearly every posting lists a 401(k) with employer match (the match percentage is not published), PPO and high-deductible health plans with an employer HSA contribution, dental and vision, 12 weeks of paid primary caregiver leave, one mental health day per quarter, an annual learning and development stipend, and a $100 monthly work-from-home stipend, the only dollar figure in that list. There is also the Axios Family Fund, which employees can draw on for financial support during hardship or emergencies. Equity is not part of the package: no live posting lists stock or options.
Editorial dominates the board by volume, especially Axios Local reporters and editors, plus subscription verticals under Axios Pro and beat roles such as defense. The revenue side hires client partnerships, client success, and growth marketing, including city-based local advertising sellers. There is also a product and technology group covering software engineering, analytics engineering, and engineering management, along with Axios Live events staffing and finance roles.
Axios publishes three employee values: "Axios first: Put colleagues and the cause above yourself. Humility wins," "Excellence always: Hunger to be the very best at what you do," and "Candor: Be candid, respectful and maintain a high degree of integrity." Candor is stated under the same name in the company value set too, defined there as remaining "direct and candid in respectful but unambiguous ways," so direct feedback should be expected as a norm rather than a surprise.
