Insider seeks a markets reporter

Insider is looking for a full-time reporter to help grow our Markets Insider site.

Markets Insider is a global real-time markets data destination that has recently celebrated its third birthday. We’ve grown a lot in that time, and we’re looking for the right reporter to help us continue that growth.

The ideal candidate would be a markets junkie and skilled writer who loves making each of their stories better than the last. We want someone who will make Wall Street research reports interesting, break down the market zeitgeist, and work as quickly as high frequency trades execute their ideas.

The Ideal Candidate:

  • Gets excited by spikes in the FAANG stocks, reads through company’s earnings report for fun, and already knows everything about the next big company to go public
  • Is ready to write short posts that analyze the most interesting nuggets of information about popular stocks
  • Can concisely connect the dots between market moves and the reasons behind them
  • Is a self-starter with a focus on constant self-improvement
  • Works at lightning speed
  • Has impeccable writing and editing skills
  • Has 2-3 years as a reporter on a business or markets beat

Markets Insider offers competitive compensation and full benefits packages.

If this sounds like your dream job, apply here with a single PDF containing your resume/CV and cover letter. If you’re passionate about this role but don’t have 100% of the experience we’re looking for, apply anyways — we still want to hear from you!
