Business Insider seeks a banking reporter in London

Insider is hiring a finance correspondent to join the business division in the UK.

The business division comprises a growing team of editors and reporters working across a number of desks, including tech, markets, retail, strategy, media and advertising, and healthcare. We value teamwork, creativity, and open communication.

The finance correspondent will be part of a new and growing desk and will deliver scoops and exclusives, as well as trend stories and features. All stories will be targeted towards Insider’s subscription audience, which expects news they can’t find anywhere else. The job requires beat reporting, investigative work, and analysis.

We’re looking for a driven storyteller who has a strong record of delivering agenda-setting scoops. The candidate should be excited to adapt and try new approaches as we expand our readership and should be someone who is open to feedback and wants to get better every day.

The ideal candidate will have:

• Experience covering the banking sector – big European and Wall Street banks in a fast paced newsroom
• Experience finding and pitching complex multi-source sources
• The passion for going the extra mile to deliver stories for our readers that they can’t find anywhere else
• The ability to produce clean, clear copy at pace.
• The desire to pursue original reporting and make their mark.
• A self-starter attitude and strong organisational skills.
• A love of Insider and what we do.
• A desire to work as part of a global team in a fast-paced environment.
• A knowledge of social media and SEO.
