Quartz is a digitally native news outlet launched by Atlantic Media in September 2012 to serve as a digital guide to the new global economy for people excited by change. Quartz is user-first, optimized for the changing media habits of busy executives, and reaches audiences across multiple platforms:

• Quartz chat app, available on Android and iOS named an Apple App Store best of 2016
• Atlas, our platform for the creation and discovery of charts
• Daily Brief, our flagship morning newsletter for busy executives

In 2017, Quartz introduced two new brands to the Quartz family: Quartz at Work (a guide to leading, building and navigating the modern workplace) and Quartzy (a guide to living well in the global economy). We focus on what matters to our users, build into the forms that fit into their lives, and keep innovation and technology at the core of all that we do.

Across Atlantic Media, generally, the firm looks for two “pillar gifts” in its candidates. In all of us, these are more aspirational than actual, but they are central in our intentions.
1. Force of Intellect - Atlantic Media seeks a discipline and rigor of thought as manifested, often, in exceptional academic performance and, later, success in a professional environment.
2. Spirit of Generosity - Equally, Atlantic Media seeks what we term a spirit of generosity – a natural disposition towards service and selfless conduct.
