Reuters seeks M&A reporter in New York

Reuters is looking for an experienced and highly competitive business journalist to be part of its U.S. deals team and report on deals in the technology, media and telecommunication sectors.

The role requires a deep understanding of how corporate executives and dealmakers operate, strong source-building and networking skills, and the ability to quickly and methodically familiarize oneself with a large number of companies and their strategies.

The reporter is expected to work closely with deal reporters and media and telecommunications correspondents in New York and the technology reporting team in San Francisco as they seek to break news on mergers and acquisitions, initial public offerings and private fundraisings.

The successful candidate will also tap sources to produce investigative stories on the inner workings of companies and how they interact with Wall Street. The job can be based in New York or San Francisco.

QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent
  • At least 5 years’ experience of companies-related reporting. Familiarity with the technology, media and telecommunication sectors preferred
  • A strong track record of scoops and ability to write with flair. A demonstrated ability to break M&A news preferred but not mandatory
