CFS News is built by practitioners who report: people who can read a bond document, a building code or a grid filing and tell the sector what it means. We recruit continuously rather than advertising fixed vacancies, so the roles below are always open to the right person.
Reporting on a sector you already work in — buildings, energy, water, agriculture, transport, manufacturing, finance — written for practitioners, not for a general audience.
Engineers, analysts, developers and bankers who can read a technical document and explain it.
Standing coverage from a country or region: the local announcement, the national policy shift, the project that never leaves the local paper. Writing in a local language is welcome, we publish in many.
Journalists and practitioners with sources in their own market.
Tracking reporting and disclosure frameworks as they change — consultations, revisions, adoption and enforcement — and turning them into what a company actually has to do.
Sustainability reporting specialists, auditors and compliance leads.
Building the figures behind a story: capacity additions, finance flows, emissions and disclosure coverage. Method and limitations are stated, not buried.
Analysts comfortable with primary datasets, spreadsheets and public filings.
Explainers, recorded panels and short interviews with the specialist on the record. Clean, quiet, no stock-footage filler.
Producers, camera operators and editors who can work with a small brief.
Term placements on the reporting, data and standards desks with a named supervisor and a real assignment. Credit for what you write.
Students and early-career professionals in climate, finance, engineering or journalism.
Two or three samples that show judgement, plus what you can cover and how often.
A short, real piece from a brief we give you. We pay for it either way, and we tell you what we saw.
Sourcing rules, house style, the disclosure register and how a story moves from draft to published.
Freelance assignments or a standing retainer, with the rate agreed in writing before the first draft.
Rates, terms and credit are agreed in writing before the first draft. We publish what we fix, including about ourselves — the standards are at the editorial standards page.
Send two or three samples, the sector or region you know best, and how often you can file. We answer every serious application, including with a no.
