Careers
Trombly International is always hiring freelance writers and copyeditors.
We prefer people with previous experience working for international business media, but will occasionally take a chance on someone new who can demonstrate a passion for the work. Particular expertise in finance, technology or the pharmaceutical industries helps a lot.
A typical career path is to start out with us as a freelance reporter or copyeditor. You will learn our workflow systems, and get to know our editors and managers. If you are a good fit for the company, we will offer you a full-time job working for one of our bureaus. Trombly International is a fast-growing company, and new full-time positions are always opening up. Though we sometimes recruit directly for the full-time positions, we prefer to hire people we already know from our pool of freelancers.
If you want to contact us directly to find out more information about opportunities, please write to Maria Korolov.
