OVERVIEW
Morning Brew seeks a writer 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 Editor of the investing newsletter. The ideal candidate will be extremely interested in investing, have an in-depth understanding of how capital markets function, and is able to craft compelling stories most relevant to our audience. Being able to convey the brand’s fun, informative, trusted personality through your writing is a critical piece of being the right fit for this role.

This job will require you to work closely with your editors and cross-functionally with creators, designers, and other writers at Morning Brew. 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 more than two years writing about markets and investing are strongly preferred.
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.
