Business Editor

Do you want to cover news from the leading edge of health care, medical research and biotech? Rochester, Minnesota, one hour south of the Twin Cities metro, is home to Mayo Clinic, U.S. News and World Report’s top hospital six years running. Here you will find a vibrant high-tech industry, with biomedical and other companies spun off from Mayo and Rochester's second-leading private employer, IBM. In short, this community of 120K has the business-sector punching power of a million-plus metro. The stories you’d tell here would be powerful and unique. The Post Bulletin is the leading media organization in this corner of the state, and you would be its Business Editor. About one-third of your time would be spent on editing and leadership tasks, and the remaining two-thirds would be spent getting stories alongside two other talented and productive reporters. Business is a high-readership content area where we have chosen to focus our efforts. We want a good storyteller in this role, and you’d lead our team with regular, in-depth “wow” content from the health/medical/tech sector. The ideal candidate will be a good fit in a newsroom full of smart, egoless high performers who work together like a good family. We are a digital-first newsroom. So, we think a lot about how to best serve our readers, and measure the results of our work. We’d like you to have a strong interest in digital storytelling, data and enterprise reporting, and you’ll know (or quickly learn) how to use readership data to form your approach to coverage.
