The Morning Brew team is clever, creative, and growing fast. Want in? Read on.

Overview

The Copy Editor/Fact Checker will be instrumental in helping our B2B team be the best it can be. You''ll read and review an array of newsletter items, interviews, and reported stories for errors and other considerations across the B2B portfolio—Retail Brew, HR Brew, Marketing Brew, Healthcare Brew, CFO Brew, and Emerging Tech Brew, among others. You'll work with the assigning editor to maintain the integrity, accuracy, cohesiveness, and tone of all of our stories.

This job will require you to work cross-functionally with managing and assigning editors, other copy editors and fact-checkers, designers, growth and social leads, and engineers. Being a team player and getting along with peers is essential. You should also be flexible: We’re in high-growth mode at Morning Brew and a game-for-anything attitude is a must.

• Fact-checking original reporting and stories, with experience working with editors and reporters to ensure that stories are as accurate as possible
• Ensuring stories are logically structured
• Working with editors to publish newsletters

Qualifications

• Ideally, two years of experience copy editing and/or fact checking at a news or media publication—but if you don't have quite that experience, we'd still like to hear from you!

• A sharp eye for detail, the ability to catch every spelling, grammar, and punctuation mistake

WHAT ELSE ARE WE LOOKING FOR?

Character and integrity rank pretty high on the list. Our team is guided by our core values:

How We Treat Each Other

• Respectful Candor: We believe that engaging in timely, constructive, and open discourse is an act of respect that makes for a more transparent and productive work environment.
• Empathy: We establish a strong partnership of trust with our co-workers and partners. We build human connections in order to understand each other.
• Inclusivity: We strive to celebrate and welcome people of diverse backgrounds and cultures. Differing perspectives help us make better decisions and have more fulfilling experiences.

How We Treat Our Work

• Curiosity: We learn every day through deliberate inquiry and exploration. We re-examine assumptions to be a better company, offer better products, and become better colleagues.
• Accountability: We celebrate our successes and own our failures. Taking responsibility for our actions allows us to learn from our experiences.
• Bias Toward Action: We know speed matters in business so we embrace quick and calculated risk-taking. We understand that many actions are reversible and therefore we are solutions-oriented, even when facing obstacles and challenges.
• Challenger Mentality: We don’t allow ourselves to be comfortable with our success. We are hungry to become the best and create more value for our audience.
• Clarity of Purpose: We understand the “why" in our work, which helps us to operate at our highest level of performance and efficiency.
