About The Position

Healthcare Brew, a Morning Brew Inc. professional (b2b) publication dedicated to giving healthcare professionals insights to help them make better decisions, is looking for a temporary editor. This is a four month contract position beginning in late June and continuing through the end of October.

If you like the challenge of setting editorial strategy and helping reporters execute on stories, well, we’ve got the gig for you.

Healthcare Brew, which is both a website and a newsletter distributed via email thrice weekly, tells the story of how a vital industry (a multi-trillion-dollar one, to boot!) navigates technological, political, societal, and economic change—and how to help professionals in the healthcare space make better decisions that, ultimately, affect us all.

Healthcare Brew covers pharmaceutical developments, health startups, the latest tech, and how it impacts hospitals and providers to keep administrators and providers informed.

The publication’s audience of 140,000 healthcare professionals covers and creates news about how the healthcare industry is adapting to new pressures: from an aging population, from new policies and new technologies, from a society trying to figure out if healthcare is a right or a privilege.

Morning Brew is based in New York City but this role is remote-friendly for all candidates.

Requirements

• A working knowledge of the healthcare space, and the kinds of stories that speak to the healthcare professional.
• At least 5 years of newsroom experience.
• Experience managing a team of journalists.
• Ability to write in the Morning Brew style (engaging, informative, clever)
• Excellent communication skills with a mindset for collaboration.
• Ability to collaborate collegially in a high-pressure environment with tight deadlines.

Responsibilities

• Manage day-to-day operations of the Healthcare Brew newsletter production process, including assigning/approving stories, editing stories, producing the newsletter, and writing headlines.
• Enforce Morning Brew editorial guidelines, editing stories for high-level substance, Brew tone and voice, and standard copy.
