An Amazing Career Opportunity for a Staff Writer!

At Questex, you can make an impact by helping marketers and buyers connect more efficiently and effectively. Questex is a leading global events, media, and business information company, yet we are still a place where your voice is heard, and your ideas are appreciated. So, you can make an immediate difference in our success while advancing your career.

Questex drives business forward through a rich engagement platform centered on leading events and surrounded by data insights and digital communities.

Questex is seeking to add two sharp, curious and ambitious journalists, one for Fierce Pharma Marketing and one for Fierce Biotech, as Staff Writers.

We are looking for journalists to deliver daily news and a steady flow of features that put the news in context for our readers. One role will support Fierce Biotech, covering the companies, science and deals shaping the industry. The other will support Fierce Pharma Marketing, focusing on the strategies, campaigns, technologies and trends shaping how pharma companies engage with patients, providers and the broader healthcare ecosystem.

The ideal candidate is eager to build sources, break news and dig into the why and how behind the day’s biggest developments. Our readers are sophisticated and deeply informed, and they look to Fierce for reporting, context and perspective they cannot get elsewhere.

This person will also have a strong commitment to editorial quality and ethics, a passion for deeply reported journalism and the drive to grow into a trusted voice on their beat. Just as importantly, these roles require someone who is comfortable representing Fierce publicly—on camera, on stage and across social platforms.

• Developing a beat and building a strong network of sources.
• Mining public records, court documents, regulatory filings, clinical trial data and company disclosures for original stories.

• Collaborating with editors and reporters across the newsroom on major stories and special projects.
• Creating or contributing to audio and video content, including podcasts and short‑form media.
• Actively engaging on social media to promote stories, connect with sources and grow Fierce’s audience and voice.
• Traveling occasionally to cover major industry conferences.

• Minimum one year of newsroom experience required, with a preference for candidates who have covered pharma, healthcare, business or another complex, regulated sector.
• Degree in journalism or a related, writing‑intensive field.
• Strong writing and reporting skills, with knowledge of AP style.
• Demonstrated ability to report quickly, accurately and with depth.
• Comfort reading regulatory materials and other industry sources.
• Experience with multimedia storytelling, including podcasting, video or on‑camera work.
• Comfort speaking publicly, including moderating panels or participating in live or recorded discussions.
• An understanding of how to use social media as a reporting and audience‑growth tool.
• A collaborative mindset, strong news judgment and enthusiasm for building expertise over time.

Who you are as a Team Member:

• You proactively seek to adopt and implement diversity in your work, valuing diverse backgrounds, experiences and thinking. You also embrace creating and nurturing a culture of diversity, inclusion, and belonging.
• Exceptional communication skills, both written and verbal.
• Strong team player and ability to work well with others.

• Why we are here: Helping people live longer and live better by focusing on the Experience Economy.
