Washington Business Journal seeks senior reporter

The Washington Business Journal wants to pay you a handsome salary to write stories about all things money.

You should be competitive, high-energy, creative and curious by nature with the hard-nosed reporting skills to back up your bravado — and a relentless desire to build audience across all platforms.

Our money reporter will cover the region’s economy; its growth and demographics; its housing market; its banking and funding communities; its influence and those who try to influence it; its conflicts, in the court of law or the court of public opinion; its cost of living; its major personalities and how much they earn and spend; and, finally, the region’s endeavors to act like one big happy family, and its failures to do so.

You must be able to operate in a fast-paced environment, embracing both long- and short-form storytelling. Yes, clicks matter. But so does context. We engage our readers by telling them something they didn’t know and showing how it affects them.

We call it business intelligence. If you haven’t given up on journalism — and we certainly haven’t, as we’re investing heavily in our news operation  — join us for one of the best local business reporting jobs in the region.

We provide a flexible work environment, giving our reporters the freedom to follow the heat and pursue what’s important, impactful and interesting.

This is a senior reporting position.
