Writer, Daily Newsletter (Weekend)

OVERVIEW

Are you the go-to in your group chat for breaking down complicated news out of Wall Street, Silicon Valley, and Washington? Do you have a passion for staying current and the ability to maintain your sense of humor even when the news is rough? Then let’s talk.

We’re looking for an enthusiastic, voice-y writer to write for Morning Brew’s flagship daily newsletter and occasionally craft content for our social media accounts on a weekend schedule.

Morning Brew’s newsletter, read by more than 4 million people seven days a week, offers a recap of the day’s news from the business world and beyond in just a five-minute read. Its secret sauce is not just expert curation of the news, but also the way that information is presented—in a friendly, funny, and inclusive voice. We deliver all the important updates our readers need to start their day without making them want to crawl back into bed.

Morning Brew has also become a major force on social channels such as Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok. On these platforms, the Brew brings the same blend of style and information to engage readers when they’re not in their inbox.

The purpose of this role is to maintain the continuity and quality of the Brew’s newsletter and social accounts from the end of the week through the weekend.

Morning Brew is based in New York City and local candidates will be given preference, though remote applications will be considered.

• Write for the flagship newsletter, writing at least one story per day, as well as a weekly market recap and week ahead preview
