You know the difference between trading and investing (we love both!) and can name the current RBA cash rate setting. You will be able to easily identify engaging angles that are relevant to our target audiences, and communicate in a strong and consistent voice. You'll be full of creative ideas and digitally agile. Journalists are ausbiz flag-bearers, and are encouraged to develop contacts in the industry. You are a self-starter and you consume all types of relevant digital and social content on a daily basis.
