Debtwire seeks a syndicated and private credit reporter

Debtwire, an ION Analytics company and the leading provider of news and analysis for the global fixed income markets, is seeking a reporter to cover the North American primary market for syndicated and private credit. Our North American product provides sophisticated investors and advisors with deep-dive coverage of public and private companies, with an emphasis on high-yield, distressed and restructuring borrowers.

The Reporter role is focused on breaking news on companies raising leveraged loans and bonds for M&A, refinancing and organic growth. This is not a loan pricing position — you will write in depth stories on investor sentiment about new issuance and broader market trends. The reporter will be part of team of journalists and credit and legal analysts based in New York and around our global offices.
