This is a high-profile assignment and we’re looking for someone with five years of experience in daily journalism, preferably on business or legal beats.
The candidate would be covering the lawyers who advise tech companies, big and small, on everything from startup financing to patent strategy to IPOs.

We need a smart storyteller who can put together compelling business features about the hunt for work and the hunt for talent. We need someone who can see through the spin and can dig deep but can also turn a quick story. Aptitude for using social media to reach and engage readers is a plus.
