San Francisco Biz Times seeks tech reporter

The San Francisco Business Times seeks a technology reporter to cover startups and large companies in the innovation capital of the world.

Startups and tech entrepreneurs and investors will dominate coverage, along with the likes of Salesforce.com, Uber, Twitter, Google, Yelp, LinkedIn, Dropbox, Airbnb, Pinterest and many many others.

Our tech reporter is expected to provide forward-looking local business intelligence to savvy readers who will use it to grow their businesses and/or advance their careers. Our content gives them a leg up on their competitors, connects them with decision-makers and delineates growth strategies that work from those that don’t.

The ideal candidate will blend traditional journalism skills — source building, sharp news judgment, interviewing prowess and scoop-driven reporting – with online and social media know-how. Reporters in our newsroom don’t just turn in copy. They include videos and other multimedia components that advance the story and further engage our audience.

Duties
• Report and write short-form and long-form stories for the website and weekly print edition.
• Own the beat, dictating day-to-day coverage and thriving on digging out source-driven exclusives.
• Relentlessly develop sources and manage relationships with high-level executives and other community leaders.
• Scoop competitors on every story of any significance, not only telling them what happened, but why and how.

Experience
Minimum of three years of journalism experience. Track record of building, maintaining and engaging a high-level audience in person, in print and online.
