Full job description
OVERVIEW
Founder Brew, a publication dedicated to exploring the real lives, decisions, and psychology of people building companies — from startups to small businesses to creative ventures—is looking for a reporter to cover the operational truths of being a founder.
Founder Brew explores what it’s like building a business—across startups, small businesses, and “unsexy” real-world companies—and is a publication focused on how current and aspiring founders can be better equipped to handle what comes their way.
Reporting is pragmatically optimistic, and divided between two modes: as-told-to, and traditional reporting. We publish the messy middle, resist PR gloss, and verify the facts behind first-person stories.
We’re looking for a reporter to ideate, research, and create journalism to help take this vertical to new heights.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Pitch, report, and write 3-5 stories per week for Founder Brew.
- 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.
- Create multimedia components that bring our stories to life in video and audio formats
- When needed, represent Founder Brew at live events, with the possibility of on-stage participation.
WHAT YOU'LL BRING
- 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)
- Ability to quickly source up
- 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
