About the role

Modern Healthcare, part of Crain Communications, is seeking an enterprising policy and politics journalist to cover healthcare policy and politics for a digital-first audience. You will track Congress, state policy and industry shifts, break news, and craft clear analysis with authoritative sources. You will write fast and clean copy, develop enterprise pieces, and collaborate on multimedia projects, including data visualizations, newsletters and digital publishing workflows.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
