Reuters Breakingviews seeks an associate editor

The world’s leading financial commentary publication is looking for a top-notch editor to help shape its agenda-setting coverage of companies, banks, deals and policy in the United States.

This is a unique opportunity to frame opinion on companies, finance and regulation in the world’s biggest capital market as executives and financiers grapple with rising inflation and interest rates, the ongoing disruption of new technology, the fragmentation of global supply chains, a changing climate, unpredictable government policy, and complex social pressures.
