Blueshift Research is looking for seasoned journalists to join our freelance research team. Blueshift reporters are tasked with finding and interviewing subject matter experts on a wide range of topics, such as technology, health care, retail, finance, and media. We are not a survey firm where reporters are following scripts in their interviews. We need reporters who can quickly get up to speed on new topics so they can ask intelligent questions and engage sources in conversations. Our clients are highly sophisticated institutional investors for whom we seek unique information and to identify trends. Work is assigned on a project-to-project basis, so reporters have flexibility about which assignments to accept. Good work will lead to more assignments. Reporting experience is a must. Familiarity with business, finance, and investing is helpful but not required.

If interested, please contact Seth Agulnick, Director of Research, at sa@blueshiftideas.com
