Reporter, Sidekick

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 writer to cover work/life issues and productivity for our Sidekick newsletter, which delivers actionable advice, essays, and hacks to help our fast-growing audience of 200,000 subscribers thrive.

This role will be instrumental in the development and execution of stories, series, and editorial packages both within and beyond the Sidekick newsletter.

If you’re interested in #hustle and #grind culture and burning the candle at both ends, this isn’t the job for you. But if you seek to help readers find balance in all things, you just might be the person we’re looking for.

The ideal candidate is passionate about productivity hacks, improving daily routines, and kicking back and enjoying their leisure time. You have ambitious ideas about reimagining how we organize our lives: we’re not offering the same advice people can get elsewhere. You’re a deft reporter who is plugged into the latest thinking and trends in working smarter, mental wellbeing, physical health, and what to do in your downtime: travel, dining etc. This role will ask you to communicate a wide range of important issues with precision, clarity, and a personal touch. The Sidekick reader is super engaged and the writer/reader relationship is crucial to what we do. We write in a lively and engaging way as if giving a good friend some much needed advice. We’re never boring.

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

What else are we looking for?

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

·       Curious - We strive to learn every day through constant questioning and exploration.

·       Purposeful – We do everything with the highest level of thoughtfulness, preparation and focus.

·       Empathetic - We are good, genuine people who embrace others' perspectives.

·       Challengers - We approach every day with an underdog mentality and are never complacent.

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!

Work from home stipends: Upgrade your home office on us.

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

Morning Brew is committed to building a diverse and inclusive team that’s representative of our audience.
