· Use data and analytics to pitch strategic new content.
· Generate fresh ideas and new angles on topics everyone is talking about before our competitors cover them.
· Craft high-quality service journalism that helps readers navigate every aspect of their health and well-being.
· Try new formats and seek new ways to reach audiences.
· Ensure our coverage includes a diversity of ideas, perspectives, and voices.
· Uphold Fortune’s standards of journalistic rigor, accuracy, and fairness.

We know there’s not a single perfect candidate for any job, so if you feel like you have the right skills to bring to this position but they differ from what we’ve listed above, we’d love to hear you tell us why. A finance reporting track record is required, but we’re open to a range of years of experience for this position.
