Job Description

Job Description:

The Boston Globe is looking for an ambitious, urgent, and sophisticated journalist to join our Business team as a Money & Enterprise Reporter.

This is a premier job in our newsroom, and we're looking for an elite reporter and writer to fill it. We are seeking a reporter with strong knowledge and sources in money, investing and the companies that run billions of dollars here. This reporter will be one who can break news and produce accountability stories in business and also take the wheel on the big news of the day. This person would be skilled at finding great stories with broad appeal — someone who builds sources with ease, can handle SEC records, cut through complex issues and deliver everything from deeply-reported narratives to quick-hit investigations and smart, bright takes on our economy and key industries. 

You'd be part of our 18-person Business department, and you'd partner frequently with other corners of the newsroom, so we're looking for someone flexible and collaborative by nature, who sees new angles and reporting lanes clearly. We also want someone who's comfortable working across platforms, from video and audio to newsletters. Experience doing top-tier business journalism is key, and as important is the skill to dig into compelling stories, report them deeply, and tell them in creative ways that engage our readers and break new ground.

If this sounds like you, please get in touch.

Responsibilities:

• Produce a steady stream of high-impact scoops and enterprise.
• Report and write business stories with authority, creativity, and sophistication.
• Contribute to breaking news, daily coverage, and larger projects as needed.
• Partner with visual and digital colleagues to create stories that reach readers across a variety of platforms.
• Embrace alternative storytelling formats, including video, audio, and newsletters.

Qualifications:

• Five-plus years of journalism experience at a major-market publication.
• Ability to write clean, compelling copy on deadline.
• A skilled writer who can elevate good stories into great ones.
• Flexible and enterprising, with a creative approach to storytelling.
• A team player who works well in a group setting.
• A willingness to adapt and be audience-focused, with a curious mindset and a commitment to creating an inclusive work environment.

Bonus Points if You…

• Have data, investigative, or language skills — if you have them, let us know.
