Quartz seeks management reporter

Quartz is seeking a management reporter at its Union Square headquarters in New York City.

This reporter will help create a framework that defines Quartz’s management coverage. The strategy will include a range of creative, digital, global approaches that makes it easy to write both brief, insightful posts about the latest management shakeup and features that tease out the changing nature of leadership in today’s economy.

The ideal candidate will obsess about the latest fads sweeping C-suites as well as the minutiae of modern office life. An eye for spotting global developments and framing them for a broad readership is a must. Management strategies, workplace trends, professional productivity protips, and business education will be core coverage areas. But we also want someone who can bring their own perspective to bear on stories with broad relevance to a range of readers.

Quartz is aimed at an international business readership that wants intelligent, engaging, thought-provoking news about the seismic changes affecting the world. We produce a wide range of material, from reported stories thousands of words long to short and snappy aggregated round-ups, as well as charts, photo-stories, interactives and more; our aim is to constantly push the boundaries of the journalistic form online.

Responsibilities include:

  • Identifying management topics in the news
  • Writing two or more short pieces daily, alongside more ambitious features
  • Assuming some responsibility for the growth in the readership for Quartz coverage in this area, including by working with colleagues to ensure the content thrives in social media.

To apply, go here.
