Business Insider seeks a Wall Street correspondent

Business Insider is hiring a Wall Street correspondent to join our finance team and break news on what’s really going on inside the biggest banks.

We’re looking for a seasoned finance reporter who is heavily sourced on Wall Street, has a track record of publishing scoops, and knows how to identify big trends and themes in the financial industry. This correspondent would focus on big financial firms, including JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Morgan Stanley, Citi, and BlackRock.

The Wall Street correspondent will be energized by the goal of informing our readers about what it’s like to work on Wall Street, and how that’s evolving and being disrupted. This person should have the drive to cover Wall Street culture, who are the rising stars, and how C-suite shakeups impact employees at all levels.

Our most loyal audience — the ambitious, disruptive, business-obsessed readers — want the inside scoop on what’s happening across Wall Street. These readers don’t just want to stay up-to-date on the news — they want a smart friend to tell them why it matters and how to talk about it with colleagues.

BI’s finance team covers Wall Street banks, hedge funds, private-equity firms, and asset managers–what goes on inside those firms and what it’s like to work there. They deliver scoops, deeply reported features, profiles of people our readers should know, first-person accounts, and smart analysis.

The position is based in our New York City HQ. The role is union-eligible.

Business Insider is committed to providing equal employment opportunities and, when making employment decisions, does not discriminate based on race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity or expression, sex, sexual orientation, age, nationality or national origin, religion, disability, familial status, and military or veteran status. We encourage members of traditionally underrepresented groups to apply.

Key Responsibilities:

• Pitch and write original stories about major financial firms
• Get exclusive scoops that make Business Insider a must-read destination
• Give readers an up-close look at life in Wall Street workplaces, from the office to the pub
• Make the coverage fun and accessible to those who don’t closely follow Wall Street

The Ideal Candidate Has:

• Demonstrable knowledge of the financial sector, proven success on a beat, and previous experience covering Wall Street firms and banks
• Reporting chops and tenacity
• Strong writing ability featuring quick, accurate, and conversational copy
• The ability to distill complex financial topics in a way that’s accessible to readers
