Seattle biz journal seeks retail/banking reporter

The Puget Sound Business Journal is looking for a smart, enterprising reporter to own the retail and banking beats.

You will cover game-changing Seattle companies that range from Amazon to Starbucks, Costco to Nordstrom. You will chronicle the evolving ways in which merchants offer their products, get paid for them — and wield technology to insert themselves into customers’ lives. You also will report on the banking and finance industry, which is being disrupted by the same trends. And you will of course jump in on breaking news and significant enterprise stories.

The ideal candidate will have the social skills needed to build a large source list and thrive in a highly collaborative small newsroom. We need a journalist who can conceive and write sharp, lively stories across print and digital platforms — and harness social media to full effect.

The Puget Sound Business Journal, which has won dozens of national awards in recent years, is one of 40 business weeklies owned by American City Business Journals, a unit of Advance Publications.

Interested? Email a cover letter, resume and clip links to: Becky Monk, assistant managing editor, Puget Sound Business Journal, at bmonk@bizjournals.com. Please put “Retail Reporter” in the subject line. No calls, please.
