Overview

Morning Brew is hiring an experienced writer with expertise in covering and analyzing a range of topics related to the Marketing industry.

The ideal candidate has a deep understanding of the Marketing industry and an extensive network of industry contacts. You should also have a body of work demonstrating a gimlet eye, a hunger to stay on top of the conversation, and a talent for cleverly explaining inside baseball for an audience that’s largely outside the ballpark.

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.
