Business Insider seeks a hedge fund reporter

Business Insider is hiring an ambitious hedge fund reporter to join its finance team.

Hedge funds are deeply secretive, yet increasingly touch everything we do. They control over $3 trillion in assets, managing the wealth of some of the world’s wealthiest people, and also the pensions of teachers and firemen and college endowments. They are also involved with pressuring blue chip companies to remake themselves, shake up management, and to cut jobs.

The reporter will focus on breaking news about hedge fund launches and closures and manager movements, as well as deep investigations, colorful profiles, and sharp analysis. The reporter is expected to follow the intersection between hedge funds, corporate America, and Washington as part of the role.

The reporter must have excellent source-building skills and the ability to translate complicated financial topics for a broader audience. Previous experience covering hedge funds is not required, but is a bonus.

Created for the digital generation, Business Insider is the largest business news site in the U.S. and one of the fastest-growing news brands in the world. We embrace the themes of positive change and innovation and use fast, fun, and informative storytelling to cover the business, tech, and finance news stories you need to know to work, play and live better.
