Reporter

The Chief, a weekly print publication and website covering labor and work issues, public- and private-sector unions, government and law enforcement, is seeking a beat reporter whose responsibilities will be determined based on their interests and our needs.

We’re looking for an eager, collaborative colleague who can come up with compelling story ideas, and then report and write them well. They should have the temperament and confidence to engage with often recalcitrant city and state officials and PIOs, as well as union leaders and their cohorts.

We are under new ownership and have just redesigned the paper and are now turning our attention to polishing the website. We are also broadening our scope to cover the world of work and labor generally, further opening up possibilities for stories.

Candidates must be vaccinated and live in the city. We are back in our Tribeca offices and will continue to work from there a few times a week, as conditions permit.

At its core, this beat will be about power and the powerful, and understanding how money shapes the world we live in. We’re looking for a reporter who can see both the big picture and the connections that link companies to markets to investors to economies, but embraces the details. We’re looking for stories that go past the headlines and reveal bigger truths about how capitalism works today.

We’re looking for a reporter with

* At least four years of experience reporting about finance or related experience

* A facility with writing both breaking news and longer enterprise stories

* Fluid and authoritative writing
