The successful candidate must be an experienced journalist who can tackle stories that span geographies, industries and markets, and who understands the needs of various customers, from financial and professional clients to media agencies and the consumer audience.

Experience with big corporate stories would be ideal.You have to be both precise with language and able to express complex ideas for specialist and general audiences.

You must be able to speedily edit copy while enforcing Reuters standards and offering suggestions for improvements in the next story updates.

We are looking for an editor who can help us shape the file, who is comfortable guiding story discussions in chatrooms and on email, and who can collaborate with photos, graphics, video and online news.You will be expected to work some late and weekend shifts.
