Crain’s New York seeks a reporter

Crain’s New York Business is looking for a curious, collaborative and entrepreneurial journalist to join its fast-growing, digitally minded newsroom team as a reporter.

We’re looking for candidates with a passion for reporting and writing on business, curiosity to follow the money and explain how the city and its business community work, and resourcefulness to find answers to questions others have missed and deliver stories that turn heads.

Our reporters generate smart digital-first stories, both quick turnarounds and enterprising features, based on the news of the day, broad trends and power players making moves.

We’re eager to hear from journalists with at least two years of experience covering any topics who have a strong interest in our core coverage areas of technology, real estate, healthcare, entrepreneurship, government and finance.

This is a full-time position in our Midtown office near Grand Central.

Responsibilities:

Deliver lively, insightful and authoritative news coverage (of all lengths) that serve our existing and potential audience
Become a go-to expert who can report and write with authority on assigned topics and power players using human sources, public records and data
Break news with regularity
Collaborate with, learn from, and teach your talented colleagues
Maintain work-life balance and a sense of perspective; we take our work seriously, not ourselves

Qualifications:

Deep curiosity and a knack for turning questions into good stories
Strong interviewing, reporting, editing and writing skills
Excel at simplifying and explaining complex topics
Experience serving a busy, on-the-go, digital audience
Ability to generate engaging headlines for newsletters and print
Can work well with others, under pressure, in a spirit of camaraderie
Comfort with live interviews and/or moderation of events and forums
