OVERVIEW
We’re looking for an editor to lead a team of reporters and steer coverage. This is both a strategic and hands-on role that will allow you to shape the future of this exciting publication.
Healthcare Brew, part of Morning Brew’s professional editorial strategy, tells the story of how a vital industry (a multi-trillion-dollar one, to boot!) navigates technological, political, societal, and economic change—and how to help professionals in the healthcare space make better decisions that, ultimately, affect us all.
Healthcare Brew covers pharmaceutical developments, health startups, the latest tech, and how it impacts hospitals and providers to keep administrators and providers informed.
The publication’s audience of 110,000 healthcare professionals covers and creates news about how the healthcare industry is adapting to new pressures: from an aging population, from new policies and new technologies, from a society trying to figure out if healthcare is a right or a privilege.
Morning Brew is based in New York City but this role is remote-friendly for all candidates.
HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL BE WORKING ON
- Manage day-to-day operations of the Healthcare Brew newsletter production process, including assigning/approving stories, editing pieces, and writing headlines.
- Manage, coach, and develop a team of three reporters.
- Generate, develop, and execute ideas for non-newsletter products and other special editorial projects—like events or research.
- Participate in Healthcare Brew events, both IRL and virtual.
- Write stories if and as needed.
- Enforce Morning Brew editorial guidelines, editing stories for high-level substance, Brew tone and voice, and standard copy.
- Support optimization of existing publication processes and establish new ones where needed.
- Support analysis of audience trends.
QUALIFICATIONS
- At least 8 years of professional editorial experience
- At least 5 years experience managing a team of writers

- Ability to intentionally experiment with, iterate on, and make hard decisions about new product offerings.
- Excellent communication skills with a mindset for collaboration.

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.
