And you’ll be joining an exciting, young company with a proven online business model, experienced leadership and passionate editors and reporters.
Job Overview
The right candidate will be able to produce two tightly written stories per day about Colorado’s outdoor industry (ski mountains, gear companies, outfitters …) and a tech/startup scence to rival Silicon Valley.
Qualifications
We look for three qualities when hiring reporters: a natural curiosity, a proven work ethic and a fierce competitiveness. You must relish breaking a scoop and hate the taste of getting beat by a competitor. A knack for working sources in person and on the phones is a must.
So if you are the sort of reporter who picks up a news tip in the cab to the airport, while getting your bike tuned or in line for a bagel, we want to hear from you.
Other basic qualifications
– At least 3 years of business reporting experience (willing to consider younger applicants who impress us)
– Proven ability to dig up stories through old-fashioned source work and documents (new business licenses, legal filings …)
– Clean and crisp writing style

Pay based upon experience.
To Apply
Please send a cover letter explaining why you are the best candidate for this position to Aaron@businessden.com.

And tell us the biggest scoop you’ve broken and how you landed it.
