Overview

Morning Brew seeks an energetic and thoughtful editor for an upcoming investing newsletter that takes Morning Brew’s approach to business news deeper into markets and investing.

Morning Brew aims to make a complex business world more conversational and interesting to millions of readers looking for a news source that values their time and speaks to them like normal human beings. We have a natural opportunity to go even deeper on these companies and stories and take our approach to business news coverage into the world of investing - whether public, private, venture, crowdfunding, etc.

This position will report to the Managing Editor of Morning Brew. The ideal candidate will be extremely interested in investing, have a in-depth understanding of how major markets function, and is able to identify the stories that matter most to our audience. Being able to build the brand’s fun, informative, trusted personality is a critical piece of being the right fit for this role.

You will also be a compassionate and detailed line-editor that deeply understands Morning Brew’s style: witty but not cringe, informative but never dry, and, above all, memorable.

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

Candidates with at least three years of experience editing business news are strongly preferred. Have you edited or written for a newsletter before? Even better.

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

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.
