NJ Cannabis Insider is a B2B resource that connects businesses through monthly events and a weekly subscriber-only trade journal. Our consumer-service journalism publishes on NJ.com, the largest news outlet in the Garden State.
We’re looking for an outgoing, curious and versatile reporter who will be our audience’s ultimate guide to New Jersey’s cannabis consumer marketplace. This is a newly created position on our team, and you’ll have the chance to help shape our coverage. We are a collaborative team.
This position reports to NJ Cannabis Insider’s publisher and editor and will work closely with the NJ Advance Media cannabis team of reporters and events staff.
Our team wants to add an innovative and creative person who is unafraid to think big — someone who’ll embrace being a personality in the cannabis space because of their expertise for reviewing the latest products and their guidance on store openings. You will also likely be known outside of our market, as we extend our footprint into New York City and Philadelphia.
Whether it’s a new strain of medical cannabis to treat PTSD, CBD beauty and wellness lotions, infused beverages, or a high-end bong, you’ll have the opportunity to review and recommend products to NJ.com’s 7.5 million monthly unique users.
You’ll create seasonal, authoritative shopping guides, frequently writing about new dispensary openings, innovators in the space, business, and culture trends. You’ll also be the go-to reporter for NJ Cannabis Insider’s strategic business audience, seeking to get an edge on the competition. You’ll make yourself available via social media or other networking tools to answer consumer questions, but also identify trends the business community should know about.
You’ll be asked to curate and moderate panels at our events and meetups, where you’ll schmooze with industry power players and educate the canna-curious. You’ll also travel to key conferences to stay on top of trends important to our community.
The ideal candidate will have a deep knowledge and curiosity about cannabis and hemp. You know how to work a beat; you meet deadlines and your copy is something you take great pride in. Cultural competency is a must in this highly diverse space.
