Marketwatch seeks Hong Kong-based financial reporter

MarketWatch.com is looking for a high-energy financial reporter to cover markets in the Asia-Pacific region.

Based in Hong Kong, the ideal candidate will be able to write straight news and markets reports and have an interest in writing more conversational blogs and spot analysis, with an eye on the far-ranging themes that grip market participants, sometimes via social media.

The role requires someone with a keen eye for market-moving developments who is able to produce clear, accurate reports under deadline and translate complicated concepts for retail investors. He or she should also have a sense of how to use social media for sourcing and distribution and an avid interest in pushing the boundaries on digital journalism.

We’d also like to hear from candidates who have experience or interest in editing and page layout. Interested candidates, please include relevant social media handles along with your work, education and language experience in the body of your resume.
