Oregon paper seeks a business editor

The Bulletin, a daily newspaper serving Central Oregon, seeks an editor to manage its business team, which consists of two reporters and a newsroom assistant.  The ideal candidate will be able to demonstrate an excellent track record of business reporting and editing at a daily newspaper.

Bend, Central Oregon’s largest city, is a thriving lifestyle destination whose economy has seen rapid growth in a number of areas, including tourism, outdoor recreation, technology, pharmaceuticals, construction, brewing and marijuana. The ideal candidate will be able to work with reporters to provide compelling coverage of these and other areas, collaborate with other editors on visual and graphical components and ensure effective digital presentation.
