FT Alphaville seeks reporters in London

FT Alphaville is looking for a couple of natural writers with an interest in all things financial to join the team at the FT. Deadline: Nov. 14, 2017.

These positions will be based in London, although we are happy to hear from applicants interested in being based in other financial centers too.

Good writing skills are essential as is a keen interest in finance, markets and corporate life. We need sparkling prose from experienced people who are instinctive, creative, witty and critical minded. You’ll also be expected to know a thing or two about economics or be keen to learn more. Alternatively, you’re the sort of person who already likes to read bond prospectuses for fun at the weekend because for some reason you find them fascinating.

Perhaps you are a business journalist at a quality publication who wants more freedom and the chance to dig deeper into difficult subjects.

Perhaps you are a part-time blogger wanting to make the jump to a professional media platform.

Or maybe you are an IB-trained all-rounder who has decided they’d rather comment from outside the investment banking tent, rather than sit inside, shackled and gagged, for 14 hours a day.

Ping a CV and maybe a writing example to: alphaville@ft.com. We will read and reply to every application. Interviews will follow, probably with a writing test.
