Morning Brew seeks a work life reporter

Morning Brew seeks an energetic and enthusiastic writer to cover work/life issues and productivity for our Sidekick newsletter, which delivers actionable advice, essays, and hacks to help our fast-growing audience of 200,000 subscribers thrive.
This role will be instrumental in the development and execution of stories, series, and editorial packages both within and beyond the Sidekick newsletter.
If you’re interested in #hustle and #grind culture and burning the candle at both ends, this isn’t the job for you. But if you seek to help readers find balance in all things, you just might be the person we’re looking for.
The ideal candidate is passionate about productivity hacks, improving daily routines, and kicking back and enjoying their leisure time. You have ambitious ideas about reimagining how we organize our lives: we’re not offering the same advice people can get elsewhere. You’re a deft reporter who is plugged into the latest thinking and trends in working smarter, mental wellbeing, physical health, and what to do in your downtime: travel, dining etc.  This role will ask you to communicate a wide range of important issues with precision, clarity, and a personal touch. The Sidekick reader is super engaged and the writer/reader relationship is crucial to what we do. We write in a lively and engaging way as if giving a good friend some much needed advice. We’re never boring.
This job will also require you to work cross-functionally with copy editors, fact-checkers, designers, growth and social leads, and engineers. Being a team player and getting along with peers is mission critical. You should also be flexible: We’re in high-growth mode at Morning Brew and a game-for-anything attitude is a must.
