While the focus of the position will be on fundraising, the successful reporter will also serve as an early warning system for the up-and-coming businesses generating interest in the Valley. We aim to pick ones that stand out because of the new technologies or business ideas they represent, the people behind them, or, sometimes, their sheer size.
We also want to increase our coverage of the people and firms who are shaping the financing landscape in San Francisco and Silicon Valley, and the changing financing techniques and trends.
Key duties:
Write news and features for all parts of the FT
Regularly contribute to the FT’s Due Diligence email newsletter and events, providing a perspective from the West Coast to supplement other views from around the world
Extend the role to include other aspects of the local financing story, such as IPOs
Work closely with the FT’s deals reporters in New York and London
Who we are looking for
The successful candidate will be a dynamic financial reporter who can spot a trend and break stories. The reporter will not only work closely with colleagues in San Francisco and but also around the world. S/he will need to be a self-starter who coordinates well with news editors to identify and deliver stories.
