At the core of this network is our ability to deliver data, news and analytics through innovative technology – quickly and accurately. Around the clock, around the globe – we empower business leaders with breaking news, expert opinion and proprietary data distributed across platforms.

The Role:

Are you interested in markets and companies coverage? Do you want to unearth the next big trend to drive company financials? Are you exhilarated by the intensity of earnings season, with all its shocks and surprises?

Armed with our latest technology and extensive preparation, you’ll ensure we’re providing the best possible package for readers across the entirety of the earnings news flow. You’ll contribute to coverage of a large and geographically diverse set of companies, from the preview to the moment of release all the way through to the market reaction. We want to dive deeper into company segments, utilize estimates comparisons to provide instant context, and mine conference calls for interesting commentary; markets will rise and fall based on your reporting.

We’ll trust you to:

  •  Ensure our earnings coverage is complete from start to finish and contains market-moving data and context
  •  Look for ways to bring our coverage to the next level
  •  Work with Extraction teams on opportunities to automate coverage
  •  Stay on top of major stories and trends that matter to market participants
  •  Mine earnings statements for key financial data in real time and look for opportunities for further coverage
  •  Work across departments outside of News to ensure we have the right data and context
  •  Collaborate with other teams within News including Breaking News, Global Business and Markets teams

You need to have:

  •  Experience working in a real-time news environment
  •  Experience in financial or business news in an EMEA market
  •  Understanding of company financials
  •  Familiarity working with automated content and semi-automation tools
  •  Willingness to learn and work with machine learning and processing systems
