The award-winning Daily Mercury is looking for a confident and experienced journalist to join the team who can help readers understand the complex issues that matter.

The role requires a writer with demonstrated ability who isn’t afraid to ask tough questions and tackle some of the region’s most important issues like mining, industry and politics.

The best candidate will be skilled in news gathering, able to build rapport with key contacts, have a solid grasp of social media and the ability to pitch and deliver engaging, high-quality content.

- Focus on online engagement and drive subscription growth

- Demonstrate initiative to seek out stories that are not already breaking and identify unique angles that drive conversation and move the issue forward

- Digest digital data and use it in planning content

- Turn what can sometimes be dry topics into engaging reads

Qualifications

- A senior journalist with a minimum 2-3 years experience in a newsroom

- Thrives on the challenge of meeting business outcomes and reader expectations and actively looks to exceed them

- Ability to cut through political speak and break down complex mining issues

- Strong news judgment and interview skills

- Understands and has experience in digital storytelling as well as print

- Willing to embrace change and demonstrate agility in a fast-paced sector

- Self-starter who can maintain high levels of personal organisation and time management
