About The Position

The Boston Globe is seeking a fast, creative, and dynamic general assignment reporter to join its Business desk. This is a job with a wide purview, and it demands a high metabolism. We're looking for someone to cover a broad range of business topics, who can carve out a focus area or two, and who can produce quick breaking news stories and also go deep on enterprise. We want someone who's eager to find new ways to tell stories across platforms while always ensuring our journalism feels smart, urgent, and essential. You'd be part of an 18-person Business team that prides itself on collaboration and takes a broad view of what business journalism can be. Mostly, we want to explore how economic forces shape everyday life here in New England — think workplaces, affordability, consumer trends, and culture.
