- Be brimming with ideas about what stories need to be told and how best to tell them
- Lead a team of three reporters
- Edit and write stories
You have:
- Experience writing and reporting about companies and finance
- An ability to connect the dots and produce in-depth stories and analysis
- Sound news judgment and an ability to maintain high news metabolism
- Skills in creating compelling digital-only content – including newsletters – that attracts and engages audiences
- Superb organizational skills and ability to meet regular deadlines
