Copy Editor/Fact Checker, B2C - job 1 of 2

Morning Brew is a media company that covers the business news and narratives shaping our world. The companies, the people, the workplace, the economy — we nerd out on this stuff, and we’re dedicated to helping our audience navigate it all in a way that informs and entertains.

The Morning Brew team is clever, creative, and growing fast. Want in? Read on.

Overview

Morning Brew seeks an energetic and enthusiastic copy editor and fact-checker for our Money Scoop and Sidekick newsletters, which use wit and smarts to help 500,000+ subscribers get the most out of their money and their work, respectively.

Money Scoop was founded on the belief that millennials don’t actually spend money all that differently than the generations before them; they just have less of it. Which means they want more tips and tricks to make money work for them beyond the basics. Money Scoop offers accessible, judgment-free guidance on how to evaluate, then decisively take, those next steps.

Sidekick meanwhile believes that work is a thing and not a place. No—make that a way of life. Nearly all of our subscribers are hungry to explore side hustles and a majority seek to build their own thing. Inside every Sidekick reader is an entrepreneur who wants to make a dent in the world—to level up, to create anew, to take true ownership over their work so they can live on their own terms. Sidekick is their productivity manual for achieving more.

Both newsletters publish three editions per week as well as several special projects throughout the year.

This role is instrumental in helping the rest of the editorial team be the best it can be. You will read and review an array of blurbs, essays, interviews, and columns for errors and other considerations. You will work with the assigning editor to maintain our integrity, accessibility, and tone. And when it all comes together, you’ll be the final set of hands on each newsletter edition. (No pressure!)

This job will require you to work cross-functionally with managing and assigning editors, other copy editors and fact-checkers, designers, growth and social leads, and engineers. Being a team player and getting along with peers is essential. You should also be flexible: We’re in high-growth mode at Morning Brew and a game-for-anything attitude is a must.

Morning Brew is based in New York City but this role is remote-friendly for all candidates.

What else are we looking for?

Character and integrity rank pretty high on the list. Our team is guided by our core values:

How We Treat Each Other:

·       Respectful Candor -- We believe that engaging in timely, constructive, and open discourse is an act of respect that makes for a more transparent and productive work environment.

·       Empathy -- We establish a strong partnership of trust with our co-workers and partners. We build human connections in order to understand each other.

·       Inclusivity -- We strive to celebrate and welcome people of diverse backgrounds and cultures. Differing perspectives help us make better decisions and have more fulfilling experiences.

How We Treat Our Work: 

·       Curiosity -- We learn every day through deliberate inquiry and exploration. We re-examine assumptions to be a better company, offer better products, and become better colleagues.

·       Accountability -- We celebrate our successes and own our failures. Taking responsibility for our actions allows us to learn from our experiences.

·       Bias Toward Action -- We know speed matters in business so we embrace quick and calculated risk-taking. We understand that many actions are reversible and therefore we are solutions-oriented, even when facing obstacles and challenges.

·       Challenger Mentality -- We don’t allow ourselves to be comfortable with our success. We are hungry to become the best and create more value for our audience.

·       Clarity of Purpose -- We understand the “why” in our work, which helps us to operate at our highest level of performance and efficiency.

Perks:

While being surrounded by a bunch of cool people who look great in crewnecks is its own reward, we have plenty more to offer.

Unlimited sick and vacation time: And by “unlimited,” we mean absolutely unlimited.

Remote-work friendly: Work from home, work from the office, work from the moon — you decide.

401(k) employer match: We want to help you prepare for the future, now. 

Premium healthcare plans: Your health matters!

Annual learning credit: Want to learn something new? We'll pay for it.
