Overview

Our B2B newsletter HR Brew is expanding to provide deeper coverage on a changing industry. With societal shifts from the MeToo, Black Lives Matter, and Stop Asian Hate movements, along with struggling, then coping with COVID-19, how we conduct business has evolved. (Not to mention conversations around pay disparity and harassment.) The team that sits in the middle,the Human Resources department, has had to change, too, by learning new skills, figuring out new software, and understanding how to communicate both top-down and bottom-up. 

The shift in how HR is being thought of in organizations impacts all of our lives. Questions such as “How do we get the best out of our people” and “How do we create an inclusive environment” might not have been asked ten years ago, but are very much in the dialogue today. And those are just two of hundreds of questions we might ask. 

We’re looking for a reporter to ideate, research, and create journalism to help take this vertical to the next level.  

Here’s what you will be working on:

-Pitch, report, and write stories and other associated journalistic endeavors for HR Brew -- via newsletter, on-site articles, and other venues of distribution.

- Generate ideas for and lead/co-lead creation of non-newsletter editorial initiatives, enterprise pieces, and evergreen content, as we build out a digital home. 

- Conduct research to support creation of key stories and inform longer-term projects. 

Qualifications:

- Interest and expertise in business writing and reporting 

- At least 3 years of journalism experience

- Ability to write in the Morning Brew style (engaging, informative, clever)

- Understanding of how to analyze and draw conclusions from structured and unstructured data 

- Understanding of how to leverage multiple platforms (email, social media, etc.) to engage with the target audience

- Self-starter attitude with ability to operate in a collaborative, quickly-changing environment 

- Combination of attention to detail and creative, strategic thinking 

- Excellent communication skills with a mindset for collaboration

- Ability to operate in a high-pressure environment with tight deadlines

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