Huffington Post seeks senior business reporter

HuffPost is looking for a business reporter skilled at finding fresh ways to tell the story of inequality and systemic injustice. The ideal candidate will be a lively writer who can condense and humanize complex economic issues.

You should recognize that we are living through a moment of rapid and destabilizing change. You should want to understand the underlying reasons why. You should try to figure out where the economy is going next. And you should be blazingly smart about finding original, humane, and grabby ways to explain the structure of the modern economy.

You will be called on to write short pieces with fast turnarounds, as well as enterprise and Highline pieces that will take considerably longer. And since HuffPost tells stories in many formats, you must be comfortable working with teams across the newsroom, including visual and audio editors.

You will be joining a growing and diverse newsroom that reaches nearly 170 million people across the globe every month, and many millions more through our social platforms and partner portals like Yahoo and AOL, which together reach over a billion users every month.

Qualifications:

• 4+ years experience in journalism
• An abiding love for raw data, white papers, and other things better-adjusted people find bland
• An ability to take what you learn in those data sets and white papers and make it interesting for a wider audience
• A deep well of empathy
• A desire to challenge people’s preconceived notions
• An understanding of millennials and millennial culture (there will be an emphasis on how the changing economy affects the young)
• An ability to collaborate across multiple teams and juggle several stories and projects at the same time
