Forbes seeks reporter to cover leadership

Forbes is looking for a resourceful and creative reporter/writer to join its Leadership team in covering leadership in all its many aspects, in business and throughout life.

Forbes Leadership, a major component of Forbes.com, draws 10 million unique visitors each month. Its coverage encompasses everything from news and advice about education and career growth—for young and aspiring leaders—to wisdom and observation about corporate management and strategy and running a business, as well as to reporting on a wide range of other, related topics including real-life leadership successes and failures in the news, not only in business but also in government, politics, sports, entertainment, and across all human endeavor. The reporter/writer will be able to touch on all these areas.

Responsibilities:

  • Research and post articles about education, jobs, careers, and hiring, often presenting useful rankings based on valuable outside surveys and studies.
  • Report and post articles on prominent personalities and breaking events, especially but not only in the business world, covering them from the crucial but sometimes overlooked leadership perspective.
  • Report and post articles digesting and assessing current research that offers fresh insight into leadership in all its manifestations.
  • Develop and report and post other kinds of leadership-related stories according to the writer’s interest, passion, creativity, imagination, and sense of a topic’s importance and newsworthiness.

Requirements:

  • Bachelor’s degree in journalism, English, communications, business, or a related field.
  • Two years’ reporting and writing experience, with clips showing range and quality of work and demonstrating expertise in writing about news, business, and personalities.
