Business Insider is looking for a financial markets junkie to join its growing markets team.

The ideal candidate should have experience in finance or financial markets reporting. The candidate should be familiar with the popular financial blogs and the best Twitter accounts.

The  contributors editor will be able to identify and write BI-style headlines for outside stories to feature on Business Insider.
