Bloomberg Businessweek seeks online reporter

Bloomberg Businessweek is seeking an Online Reporter for its Business Schools vertical. The reporter will cover a wide range of issues relevant to prospective MBAs, business school students and b-school alumni. They will also write content to accompany the annual business school rankings packages, and have the opportunity to write magazine stories.

Beyond the relevant professional experience, our ideal candidate will have grand ambition for our BSchools franchise and bring the voice, energy and vision needed to build on our strong history and foundation.

Qualifications:

– Applicants should have 1-3 years of experience, a track record of very clean copy and above average reporting skills, and a unique voice.
– The ideal candidate will thrive in fast-paced environments; be comfortable producing a high volume of short but well-written blog dispatches daily while working on longer enterprise pieces at the same time; and have a tendency to become obsessed with every corner of a beat.
– Blogging experience and digital/multimedia fluency are ideal.
– Experience covering higher education or MBA issues is a plus, but not a must-have.
– An aptitude for jumping wholeheartedly into a new beat also works.

To apply, go here.
