Pacific Coast Business Times seeks a tech and agribusiness reporter

Pacific Coast Business Times, the weekly business journal for Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties, is looking for a staff writer to cover technology, agribusiness and the innovation culture on California’s Central Coast.

We are an emerging technology hub with a history of successful IPOs, a strong life sciences sector led by Amgen and major outposts for Google, Amazon, Microsoft and others.
Candidates should have experience in business reporting as well as skills in online publishing, social media and photography.

Our founder is Henry Dubroff, former SABEW president and chair of the SABEW First Amendment Committee. Please send a resume, cover letter and links to three of your best articles to hdubroff@pacbiztimes.com.

The cost of housing in our area is high and applicants should take that into account. We expect a successful candidate to relocate to the Santa Barbara area as soon as practical, given the public health risks.

Pacific Coast Business is an Equal Opportunity Employer and we seek inclusiveness and diversity in our workforce.
