Post-Dispatch seeks a business reporter

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch is seeking a business reporter who understands and can explain complex issues, who is competitive, and who writes accurately and authoritatively.

This reporter will tackle multiple and varied assignments each day, in areas including retail, technology and healthcare industry news. The successful applicant must work efficiently and accurately to produce content on deadline, first for our digital audience but also in print. We want an aggressive reporter who can jump on a big breaking story and who is adept at covering large public companies and small businesses. We want a creative reporter who finds news where others can’t. We want someone who is plugged in throughout our community. And we want a multi-skilled reporter who is as comfortable shooting and editing video as writing stories.

At least two years of professional reporting experience is preferred.
