The ideal candidate should have experience in business journalism, is a news junkie and has an understanding of Singapore’s political and cultural contexts. The candidate should have experience working in a cross-generational newsroom of content producers, including writers, visual artists, sub-editors, and social media specialists.

Job Requirements

  • Ability to work with a network of contributors and freelancers
  • Strong command of written and spoken English, with a high proficiency in copyediting and crafting digital headlines. Familiarity with an Asian language is a plus but not compulsory.
