Mergermarket seeks M&A reporter

Mergermarket, an online financial news service, is looking for a full-time reporter based in New York to break news on M&A deals and corporate strategy.

This position is entirely focused on off-diary/enterprise reporting and is a great opportunity for a reporter looking to move into an investigative journalism position.

The right candidate needs to be able to generate original story ideas, make new sources and quickly pick up financial information. An established source book of sector, corporate finance or M&A sources is preferred, though applicants with a strong networking ability will be considered.

The right candidate should be as happy reporting a story independently as working with a team of reporters based around the world.

Key Skills:

Keen interest in business news, mergers and acquisitions

Ability to interview senior executives and dealmakers

Ability to pick up on trends and develop original angles for stories

At least two years of experience covering business news or a strong track record of scoops on another beat
