Science Journalist Jobs in Ohio (NOW HIRING)

Arrowfly seeks an enthusiastic, communicative, and detail-oriented Associate Editor to work on our MassDevice (www.massdevice.com) and Medical Design & Outsourcing (www.medicaldesignandoutsourcing.com) brands.

This is an excellent early-career opportunity for a candidate passionate about covering medtech, a field that focuses on improving and saving people’s lives.

We value candidates eager to learn and collaborate.

If you're a proactive individual eager to grow your editorial career with a supportive team, we encourage you to apply.
