Weekend Newsletter Writer/Social Writer

At Morning Brew Inc., we mix what you need to know with our unique brand of wit to attract, and build real relationships with, the next generation of business leaders. We speak to them like people, ensuring they get the context and insight needed to make decisions every day. Loyalty and trust are our most valuable currencies.


Whether scrolling, reading, watching, or listening, our audience trusts us for credible, entertaining business content that makes an impact on their personal and professional lives.


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


OVERVIEW

Are you a self-professed news junkie who has a lot of thoughts about the world of business, current events, and/or Mark Zuckerberg’s reinvention? Are you the go-to in your group chat for breaking down complicated, conflicting news out of Wall Street? Do you have a passion for reading the news (even when it’s not your job) and have a firm understanding of what’s going on in the world at any given moment? Then let’s talk.


We’re looking for an enthusiastic, voice-y writer to craft content for Morning Brew’s social media accounts and help produce its flagship daily newsletter on a weekend schedule.


Morning Brew’s newsletter, read by more than 4 million people seven days a week, offers a recap of the previous day’s news from the business world and beyond in just a five-minute read. Its secret sauce is not just expert curation of the news, but also the way that information is presented—in a friendly, funny, and inclusive voice. Our goal is to make our readers actually enjoy reading the news.


We’ve also emerged as a major force on social channels such as Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and Threads. On these platforms, the Brew brings the same blend of style and information to engage readers when they’re not in their inbox.


The purpose of this role is to maintain the continuity and quality of the Brew’s newsletter and social accounts from the end of the week through the weekend.


HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL BE WORKING ON

You should be able to sift out the “noise” from the endless stream of tweets and online articles and be able to identify the news stories that will resonate most with our readers. You should also have a deep interest in the business world, particularly the way companies interact with the cultural, political, and environmental forces around them. Knowledge of markets, stocks, and Jerome Powell’s sleeping patterns is a plus.


Finally, you should be a polished writer who is also able to make a reader spit out their coffee with an occasional zinger of a joke. The ability to balance delivering important information and doing so in a way that won’t make readers want to crawl back into bed is the hallmark of Morning Brew’s writing staff.


You do not need formal journalism experience to be considered for this role. Brew writers and social media managers come from many different backgrounds, and the majority of your writing will involve short blurbs and posts rather than longer, reported articles. However, you should have experience in writing about current events, comedy writing, or—preferably—both.


Morning Brew is based in New York City and local candidates will be given preference, though remote applications will be considered.


COMPENSATION $70–75k *Final offers for this job will be made within the parameters of  the salary range provided,  commensurate with experience. Total offer package to include benefits highlighted under our perks section below.


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:

 

🏢 Brew’s HQ: Pick an adjustable standing desk or cozy corner and load up on free coffee (duh) and snacks at our new two-story office space in NYC’s Flatiron District.

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

⚕️ Premium health, vision, and dental plans: Your health matters!

🛋 Mental health benefits: Personalized plans and programs to promote your mental well-being.

💞 Extra help when you need it: Including a care concierge, plus free access to One Medical and the Calm app.

👪 Family planning: Want to join #brewparents? Generous paid parental leave and fertility coverage for eligible employees.

☕️ Employee Resource Groups: Black Coffee, LGBTQ Brew, AAPI Brew, Cafe Con Leche, Chai Latte, She Espresso, Disabili-teas, and Grounded

🏋️ Gym and workout class reimbursements: It pays to be healthy.

🎓 Annual learning credit: Want to learn something new? We'll reimburse you.
