Retail Dive is looking for you - a sharp, experienced reporter ready to deliver timely, insightful coverage of the retail industry. In this role, you’ll dive into the fast-paced world of physical retail and e-commerce, writing breaking news briefs, in-depth articles, and compelling feature stories.

You’ll collaborate closely with a team of editors and reporters to develop engaging coverage, whether it's a quick-turn earnings analysis or an investigative deep dive into how a distressed retailer’s strategy unraveled.

This is your beat to own. You’ll pitch original story ideas, build strong industry relationships, and chase down the stories that matter most. Reporting directly to Retail Dive’s managing editor, you’ll have the opportunity to shape coverage and make an impact in a dynamic newsroom.

What you’ll do:

• Build an assigned beat

• Develop source relationships with organizations and analysts relevant to your beat

• Pitch story ideas and work with editors to refine angles

• Write an average of 5 items per week, of varying length and depth

• Identify and support team coverage of key storylines 

• Produce daily and weekly newsletters alongside your team — reporting, writing and editing every day in a collaborative fashion

• Work as a team player to support Retail Dive's ambitious goals

Qualifications

• A proven track record of strong reporting and writing skills
• Ability to interpret and analyze business concepts, earnings reports, industry trends, and major news stories and to connect the dots to highlight larger trends
• Ability to build relationships with important sources and report on complex subjects
• Experience interpreting and analyzing business and financial news, trends and concepts
• Deadline-oriented time management skills; ability to turn around stories on tight deadlines
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced news environment — reporters may need to quickly pivot to cover emerging news. 
• Bachelor's degree or better in journalism, English or similar field
• Experience: 2-4 years experience. Retail coverage preferred or translatable financial reporting experience. 

The salary range for the role is $60k-88k  USD depending on experience.
