Debtwire seeks investigative capital markets reporter

Debtwire, an Acuris-owned company, is seeking an Investigative Capital Markets Reporter to cover the leveraged finance markets across multiple industries.

Debtwire produces real-time news and data on high yield, distressed debt, leveraged finance, and restructuring situations globally through our network of journalists and analysts.

Our editorial approach is credit-specific rather than market-wide, and we routinely break news in the restructuring, distressed and primary issuance markets. Editorial content also delves into detailed analysis of recovery scenarios, relative value and buyside strategy.

The selected candidate will work out of our New York office with the Debtwire editorial team. We’re looking for individuals who are adept at building a network of contacts to deliver exclusive, source-driven copy. Applicants should possess strong writing skills and a drive to break news on this fast-paced, real-time beat.

Top candidates will possess the following qualities:

  • A background in journalism
  • 0-2 years experience working at an accredited publication covering the financial industry.

To apply, go here.
