NY Times seeks a business feature and beat reporter

The New York Times is looking for a versatile editor to edit enterprise and feature stories for the Business report.

This is a multifaceted role: You will work with a handful of reporters on articles that stand out for their unique perspective and compelling storytelling. The subjects covered by the reporters in the group vary widely.

You will also supervise a few reporters who cover retail, consumer brands and food. They will need to be able to spot important news and shape enterprise coverage of brands readers encounter every daily.

We’re looking for someone with sharp editorial judgment who can elevate already excellent writing and also work with reporters with a wide range of experience  — serving as a coach, manager and guide in a constantly changing journalistic environment. You should be as comfortable assigning and editing a short story as they are editing a 3,000 word feature for the Sunday Business section.

This position is based in New York.

Responsibilities 

• Managing reporting and writing projects, and serving as first editor for long-form stories on a wide variety of topics.
• Managing a small team of reporters producing news and enterprise.
• Overseeing coverage of retail and food industries.

Basic Qualifications

• Knowledge of business topics ranging from media to tech to the economy.
• 10+ years of experience in journalism as a reporter and editor.
• Proven experience editing long-form journalism — at a newspaper or magazine.
• A willingness to collaborate, and the ability to partner with colleagues across the Business section and the rest of The New York Times newsroom.
• Digital-media savvy.
• A dedication to The Times and its journalistic mission.

Preferred Qualifications

• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment.
• Experience in large newsrooms writing or editing breaking news.

The annual base pay salary for this role is between $170,000.00 and $200,000.00.
