About the Team:

Since 1921, Barron's has delivered the need-to-know information for all those seeking to accumulate wealth, and provided a robust understanding of what propels the markets and business community. At the forefront, Barron's is a catalyst for economic change with a powerful network of influential business leaders, financial advisors, institutional and affluent individual investors among its audience.

You Will:

• Generate quick angles and strong ideas off the news and meet urgent deadlines.
• Familiarity with corporate balance sheets, financial valuations, and investing principles.
• Experience writing earnings reports, market commentary, and newsletter posts

You Have:

• At least one year of experience working as a reporter at a national or trade business news publication
• Collaborative, diplomatic approach and confidence making fast, well-thought-out decisions.
• Knowledge of SEO best practices and a knack for writing snappy headlines and ledes
