Slate is hiring a full-time business and economics writer for its Moneybox team.
We’re looking for a generalist, someone who can help our readers make sense of topics as far-ranging as the latest market swoons, Silicon Valley moonshots, consumer brand revolutions and economic policy shifts. We’ll expect you to write sharp, timely, incisive commentaries on topics in the news, and we’ll count on you to start fascinating conversations and carve out new, exciting beats of your own.
We want someone who can work fast and won’t hesitate to pick up the phone, someone who can write with style and help our readers understand the most important ways to think about the business world. Candidates should have at least two years experience covering business. Digital experience preferred, comfort with multimedia storytelling a plus (especially you like awesome graphs and charts).
f you know who David Ricardo is and find the idea of Jamie Dimon and Janet Yellen singing karaoke hilarious, but can also spitball about the competing market ideologies depicted in Harry Potter, you’ll probably fit in.
The position can be located in New York or Washington, D.C.. Interested candidates should send a résumé and a cover letter, with links to some of your best work, explaining how you’d contribute to the Moneybox team. Slate welcomes applicants of diverse backgrounds and perspectives.
To apply, go here.
