The energy of a newsroom. The buzz of a breaking news on a deal. The thrill of writing a smart story that everyone talks about. We work hard, and we work fast - while keeping up the quality and accuracy we're known for. We bring out the best in each other. You can do amazing work here. Work you couldn't do anywhere else. It's up to you to make it happen.

- Assist reporters and editors in the bureau with reporting and research, and work on your own stories with adequate guidance from the team and editors elsewhere
- Gradually build contacts in the government as well as the private sector
- Be a self-starter who is eager to learn and improve, and who relishes working under pressure to meet deadlines
You'll need to:
- Be a Saudi national
- Hold a bachelor's degree or equivalent work experience
- Be fluent in Arabic and English
