LatinFinance seeks a reporter in New York

LatinFinance, the leading provider of value-added intelligence on the financial markets and economies of Latin America and the Caribbean, is seeking an ambitious and fast-learning early-career reporter to join its editorial team in New York.

The ideal candidate will have some reporting experience, proficiency in either Spanish or Portuguese, and, importantly, the drive to learn and develop as a financial journalist. S/he will demonstrate an interest in financial markets, the ability to build rapport with sources and develop a base of contacts, a flair for the written word and an understanding of the skills necessary to be successful in journalism.

The reporter will write daily news and analysis articles as well as longer-form features on capital markets activity in Latin America and the Caribbean, as part of a small, fast-paced team. The role involves daily interaction with the region’s most important companies, investors, banks and law firms. It also requires regular international travel, including attendance at LatinFinance events worldwide.

We offer comprehensive training, including financial markets and reporting courses. This is a fantastic opportunity for a highly motivated junior reporter to advance a rewarding career in financial journalism.
