FT Alphaville seeks New York reporter

FT Alphaville is looking for a natural writer, with an interest in all things financial, to join its team in New York.

Enthusiasm for online journalism and/or blogging is essential – as is an ability to get up in the morning. (We start early.)

You’ll have a good sense of humor, a thick skin and you might even know how to manipulate a spreadsheet or fix a line or two of HTML.

Send a CV and anything else you think might persuade of us your talents to: paul.murphy@ft.com

Note that this position will be based in the FT’s New York office, located in that dead bit of Lower Manhattan sometimes referred to as West SoHo or Holland Tunnelville.

Short-listed candidates will be required to take a writing test.
