Quartz seeks finance reporter

Quartz seeks a reporter to cover the finance sector globally, with a focus on producing original takes on the news and reported analytical scoops.

You would be part of the growing Quartz team based in New York, and help shape our efforts to take bracingly creative approaches to covering business news.

Finance topics we’ve covered recently have ranged from banks’ retreat from trading to the resurgence of the IPO market. Developing fresh ways to look at finance trends and translate them into interesting, provocative articles, with a solid grounding in data, is a central challenge of this job.

We are looking for someone with professional reporting experience, a facility with data, an entrepreneurial approach to their work, and the ability to convey curiosity and humor in their writing. The reporter should feel comfortable with using formats other than traditional 700-word articles (instead, think shorter pieces, photos, and charts) when they’re better for efficiently and effectively getting a story across. International experience and languages are a plus.

To apply, please submit a cover letter, resume, and five links to relevant work. The links matter most.

Quartz is a business news venture of Atlantic Media, found online at qz.com.
