Business Editor

What You’ll Do

• Lead a team of two assistant editors, 10 reporters and two columnists who produce distinctive business journalism — enterprise, features and breaking news — that sets our report apart from the competition.
• Span an expanded Business Sunday section, five email newsletters and the "Commerce Street" LinkedIn newsletter.
• Champion diverse voices, subjects and perspectives at every level of coverage.
• Own the analytics. Track performance across your coverage areas, develop insights from the data and communicate goals, wins and losses clearly to your team and newsroom leadership.
• Edit with high standards. Ensure stories are reported fairly, accurately and thoroughly, with sharp, compelling writing that serves our audience and holds up to scrutiny.
• Build and develop talent. Conduct regular one-on-ones, provide honest coaching and feedback, manage performance and handle all aspects of hiring — from recruitment through onboarding and retention.
• Work across the newsroom and beyond. Collaborate with departments inside and outside the newsroom to maximize the editorial and revenue potential of business content, including video, audio and special digital initiatives.
• Stay hands-on. Bring strong news judgment, a willingness to create content when needed and the organizational ability to manage multiple priorities on deadline.
• Communicate up and out. Meet regularly with your supervisor and maintain proactive, consistent communication about business coverage goals, team performance and major initiatives — no surprises.
• Lead. Oversee scheduling, workload distribution and day-to-day team operations — and show up as a full contributor to newsroom-wide projects and initiatives.
