  • Be a core member of a team that produces a robust collection of coverage each day, including our exciting new Live Markets product and our markets newsletter, which reaches hundreds of thousands of readers each day
  • Carve out a beat in consultation with your editor, helping you focus on a vital part of the financial ecosystem
  • Be expected to produce in-depth enterprise and investigative stories on your beat

You have:

  • The skills and instincts to jump on news, writing quickly and cleanly
  • The flexibility to switch from topic to topic, depending on news flow and coverage priorities
