The Opportunity
Come help build the next generation of Canadian Business. We're looking for an ambitious journalist and creator who is curious about the people, companies and ideas changing how Canada does business, and wants to find compelling new ways to tell those stories. You'll report and write stories, interview fascinating people, develop sources and help shape how Canadian Business shows up across digital, social, newsletters, video, and events.
We're especially interested in someone who thinks beyond a single format. A great idea might start as an interview or reported story, become a video or social series, spark a newsletter conversation, or turn into something we haven't tried before. You'll have room to pitch ideas, experiment with new formats and build your own areas of expertise while working alongside an experienced editorial team.
If you're early in your journalism career, ambitious about where you want to take it and excited by the opportunity to help reinvent business journalism for a new generation, we'd love to hear from you. This is an initial 4-month contract with the possibility for renewal
What You’ll Do
Support the development of Canadian Business’s corporate membership program, including working with members to develop and edit op-eds
Pitch, report, write and edit smart, original stories about Canadian business, entrepreneurship, money, work and the economy
Interview entrepreneurs, executives, investors, experts and other interesting people shaping business in Canada, while developing your own network of sources
Turn strong ideas into content across web, newsletters, social, video and print, choosing the format that best serves the story
Help develop and edit stories from freelance contributors and members of the Canadian Business community
Participate in Canadian Business events and programming, including the Better Future Summit
Work with our audience, social, video, design, marketing and events teams to experiment with new ways to tell stories and reach new audiences
What You Bring

A portfolio that shows you can find an interesting angle, report it and tell a compelling story
Genuine curiosity about business, entrepreneurship, technology, money, work and the people and ideas shaping Canada's economy
Strong interviewing, research and fact-checking skills

Strong organization, good judgment and the ability to take ownership of your work
Experience editing contributors, working with WordPress or analytics, or appearing on camera is helpful, but not essential.
How You Work
You have robust story instincts and sound editorial judgment. You’re curious about how businesses work, but equally interested in the people, ideas and forces behind them. You know how to turn complex business topics into clear, compelling stories without flattening the nuance. You can cut through jargon and numbers to find the narrative, ask tough questions and dig beyond the obvious angle to find the evidence that makes a story stronger.
You’re digitally fluent and understand what it takes to make a story work online, from how it’s packaged and presented to how audiences discover and engage with it. You’re comfortable learning new tools and formats as the digital landscape evolves, and you’re interested not just in what readers click on, but why a story matters to them.
