Reuters is looking for a top-notch journalist and newsroom leader to run its Africa bureau, overseeing a team of 35 reporters covering dozens of countries in the sub-Saharan region.
The job requires a grasp of the multitude of political, economic and business issues that face Africa for a readership ranging from niche financial traders to large investors and media clients.
The new Africa bureau chief will need to balance the pressure for Reuters to break news and be ultra-competitive on timings for scheduled news with the growing demand from clients for the journalism of ideas, insight and enterprise.
The Johannesburg-based job will require the ability to develop reporters and team leaders and make real progress in securing greater diversity among the senior members of our Africa team.
The successful candidate will lead an enhanced Africa business file to help serve a growing readership of international investors interested in the continent, demonstrate a keen interest in visuals and Reuters TV and maintain Reuters traditional leadership in delivering political, economic and markets news.
