Dealreporter seeks M&A reporter

Dealreporter, an online news service that is part of the Financial Times Group, has an opening for a business journalist to join our team to cover high-profile deal activity.

As a generalist M&A reporter, your articles may range from a scoop on a company for sale to an analysis of why a conglomerate should be broken up. This role is entirely focused on enterprise/investigative reporting.

The right candidate needs to demonstrate a proven ability to generate original story ideas, make new sources and quickly pick up technical information. An established source book of corporate finance or M&A sources is preferred.

Applicants will be as happy reporting a story independently as working with a team of reporters based around the world.

If you are interested, please send your resume and cover letter to Jay Antenen, North America editor, at jay.antenen@dealreporter.com.

We will follow up with select applicants to request clips and schedule phone interviews.

This role is based in New York, but we will consider exceptional candidates interested in working from our bureaus in South Florida, San Francisco and Washington DC.

Dealreporter covers global M&A and other major corporate events for a sophisticated readership of investors. The online financial news service is part of the Mergermarket Group. You can follow us on Twitter @dealreporter.
