The right candidate will:

– Have at least three years’ full-time reporting experience on this beat.

– Be well sourced in the world of finance, with an emphasis on the VC, PE, and M&A worlds, and with a deep network of sources and a drive to hold those in power accountable.

– Have a proven track record of delivering exclusive scoops and access on deadline that readers will not find elsewhere.

– Have a robust understanding of the major trends, institutions, and players driving the markets.

– Have proven financial reporting experience in a digital and print environment and strong judgment for stories and framings.

– Be a clean, engaging, and quick reporter and writer as well as infinitely curious and a font of story ideas.

– Be comfortable writing a variety of story types and formats, from newsletter essays to explainers to deep dives and features, etc. Investigative chops and experience a major plus.

– Be collaborative and open to co-bylining.

– Have either experience and comfort with live journalism and moderating panels or a willingness to learn.

– Communicate professionally and effectively with editors and colleagues.

As a finance reporter at Fortune, you will:

– Strategize and execute finance stories and scoops.

– Advance the story everyone is talking about with fresh insight.

– Write on a daily basis while also working on longer form digital and print magazine stories.

– Bring a background in finance to newsroom-wide brainstorms and conversations.

– Juggle weekly coverage while also contributing to our conferences and live events.

– Collaborate with editors and writers across the newsroom on breaking news and special packages.

– Ensure our coverage includes a diversity of ideas, perspectives, and voices.

– Uphold Fortune’s standards of journalistic rigor, accuracy, and fairness.

We know there’s not a single perfect candidate for any job, so if you feel like you have the right skills to bring to this position but they differ from what we’ve listed above, we’d love to hear you tell us why. A finance reporting track record is required, but we’re open to a range of years of experience for this position.

Location: Strong preference for this reporter to be based in New York City, where Fortune’s headquarters is located, or in San Francisco, where we have an office, but we will consider candidates in other locations. If you’re based within commuting distance of one of our offices, there will be a minimum of 3 days/week in the office.
