Reuter seeks European stock markets correspondent

Reuters is looking for a knowledgeable, experienced and news-hungry correspondent to cover European stock markets.

Global investors’ interest in the region has stirred back to life as Europe looks to leave behind a period of sovereign debt crises, sluggish growth and negative interest rates.

At the same time Brexit, threats to global free trade and an uncertain path out of unconventional monetary policy all loom as potential pitfalls.

The job will require extensive source-building across trading desks and the European investor community in order to tell stories and break news about markets and the people who trade them.

A high level of numeracy and analytical ability to generate smart, insightful analyses based on Thomson Reuters’ extensive suite of tools across long and short-form formats is necessary.

The position will form part of the broader London-based European markets team.

Qualifications
Essential Skills and Experience:
Extensive knowledge of financial markets and investment trends
Quantitative abilities, basic data visualization
Exceptional writing and well-honed interview skills
Excellent news judgment and ability to file and alert from the field
Broad knowledge of European business and politics
Track record of making contacts across the investment spectrum and using them effectively to break news

Desired Skills and Experience:
Ability to coach less experienced reporters
Social media publishing experience
The position will be offered on local terms and conditions.
