The U.S. financial system is a sprawling network of banks, exchanges, asset managers and payment networks. It is governed by a mishmash of federal, state and local regulators. The importance of that matrix was on display last year when three U.S. banks failed in rapid succession, catching their regulators off guard and sparking fears of a 2008-style meltdown.
We’re looking for a reporter who can help our readers understand the complicated interplay between regulator and regulated. We need someone who can break news about the things regulators are worried about and how financial companies are responding. There’s much ground to cover, and the stakes are high. Last year’s turmoil exposed cracks in the banking business model, especially among the thousands of community banks Americans rely on.
The ideal candidate is deeply familiar with the inner workings of financial markets and the political dynamics that influence the regulatory environment. We also need a sharp writer who’s capable of translating complex information clearly and completely. A desire to collaborate with colleagues in different coverage areas is a must.
The position is based in New York and reports to the Wall Street Bureau Chief.
