- Constantly engage with sources, attend industry conferences, and stay ahead of emerging leadership trends.
- Collaborate with teams like video, live events, newsletters, and creative to deliver leadership and management coverage in new formats to new audiences

The Ideal Candidate Has:

- Deep sourcing among executives and managers.
- At least 15 years of experience in business journalism covering leadership and workplace transformations.
- Proven track record of breaking exclusive news and providing thought-provoking, analytical reporting.
- Strong writing ability featuring quick, accurate, and conversational copy
- Ability to work independently, manage deadlines, and be flexible with new ideas
