Journo Jobs

BusinessDen.com seeks a reporter

BusinessDen.com, an online business news site covering Denver, seeks an experienced reporter to join our growing newsroom.

This position would cover a variety of beats, from residential real estate to tech startups to new restaurant and retail leases in the hottest parts of town.

We’re a subscription-only publication and have thousands of paid subscribers because we break news that’s valuable to their day-to-day business lives. Denver has been in a decade-long boom, and there’s no shortage of interesting tips to chase.

Here are some stories we’ve broken in recent months: Russell Wilson’s record-breaking home purchase; the fraud case against a former state treasurer nominee; and Stan Kroenke’s development plans for land surrounding the Denver Nuggets and Colorado Avalanche’s home arena.

Applicants should have at least three years reporting experience, including experience with daily deadlines, and a demonstrated interest in business news. You will scour public records and, critically, develop sources by meeting in person with key players on the beats we cover.

BusinessDen is a profitable, growing website founded in 2015. Our stories regularly appear in the Denver Post, which licenses our content. We have a 15-year-old sister site, Richmond BizSense, in Richmond, Virginia.

Benefits include health insurance, a retirement plan with company match and generous paid vacation. Staff receive free gym memberships and ski passes.

To apply, email a resume, cover letter and clips to editor Thomas Gounley at thomas@businessden.com.
