Reuters seeks data reporter

Reuters is looking for a data reporter with a keen interest in producing ambitious, original, high-impact stories about business and finance.

Candidates must have intermediate or advanced data analysis skills and a track record of bold beat and enterprise reporting. We want a data ninja who can hunt and slay data, resulting in stories that uncover business secrets, drive markets and challenge titans of industry.

You must enjoy collaboration and have a sixth-sense for finding stories that matter. Our data reporters do not merely serve up data; they work with other reporters and editors to conceive stories and shape our reporting.

This is a job for someone who is compulsive about fairness and accuracy, learns new skills quickly and brims with ideas about how Thomson Reuters’ proprietary financial data could inform stories.

Advanced skills in Microsoft Excel, intermediate- to advanced SQL skills
