The role
This is a senior reporting role for an experienced corporate and business reporter who is able to synthesize trends across industries and break news in a range of sectors.
The successful candidate will be an energetic, entrepreneurial reporter and accomplished writer who can work with reporters across the FT network to produce big scoops, compelling interviews and agenda-setting analysis on doing business in Donald Trump’s America. This job is best for a self-starter with lots of ideas who is keen to jump in and report and write quickly.
To land great stories and elevate our coverage above rivals, this person must have — or be able to build quickly — a rich contacts book, comprising CEOs and chairs, bankers, lawyers, lobbyists and other advisers, as well as institutional investors and wealthy individuals.
This role will work closely with our network of US corporate and finance beat reporters as well as sector specialists in London. This position will also take the lead when important news breaks in sectors where we do not have a North American expert. The point of this role is to add reporting firepower and writing chops to our coverage of business stories that matter to globally focused readers.
The successful candidate will have a proven track record in corporate reporting and the confidence and experience to pile into the biggest business stories of the moment. This position requires someone who will be comfortable writing both deep dives and scoopy splashes.
A willingness to travel frequently is essential. This reporter would be expected to contribute widely to the editorial output, including videos, blogs, and potentially commentary, as well as participating in the FT’s live conferences and events.
We expect the job will be based in New York alongside most of the corporate and financial reporters as well as the US editing team.
Please submit your application by the end of the day, Sunday February 8 2026.
