Boston Globe seeks a business editor

The Boston Globe is hiring a business editor to oversee and drive our coverage of Boston, New England, and national business and financial news.

Job Requirements

Responsibilities:

  • The business editor will be responsible for the Boston Globe’s daily business report for online and print audiences.
  • The editor will oversee a business staff of about a dozen reporters, columnists, and editors.
  • The business editor will respond to breaking news in Boston and beyond, plan the smartest possible coverage of the biggest business stories of the day, and direct ambitious enterprise reporting and projects on the Boston region.
  • The editor will help maintain the daily business news budget.

Qualifications: The successful candidate will be an unflappable multi-tasker with a range of experience in a fast-paced metro newsroom: organizing the daily business report; supervising reporters; helping writers conceive, polish, and elevate their stories; consistently beating the competition; and thinking broadly about what we should be covering, short- and long-term.
