Reuters seeks emerging markets reporter in London

Reuters is looking for an energetic, sharp and insightful correspondent to work as part of our London-based emerging markets team at a fascinating juncture for developing economies and markets worldwide — from Moscow to Istanbul, Lagos to Jo’burg, Caracas to Bangkok.

The four-person emerging markets unit forms a key part of financial markets coverage in EMEA. It requires extensive source building and intelligence gathering among a specialist investment community in London and other key centres as well as successful liaison with our bureau network and the coverage of long lines of visiting newsmakers.

The ideal candidate will have excellent markets knowledge, be a fluent writer and have a broad grasp of international investment and politics. Critical will be the ability to work selflessly within a small, busy team in London and correspondents worldwide.

Key duties will include:
– Sharing the daily emerging markets report
– Monitoring and alerting newsworthy developments in often opaque markets
– Sharing coverage of visiting newsmakers and live events
– Building senior sources at top investment houses
– Helping organize our annual investment summit
– Taking ownership of sovereign investors as a key area of coverage and contributing to our monthly asset allocation poll.

The successful candidate will contribute to a file that stands out as a must-read for international money managers and traders as well as resonating for non-specialists and the wider public.

Duties will include breaking market and spot news, initiative reporting and analysis, data gathering and mining and inventive work with graphics. The correspondent will report to the chief emerging markets correspondent.
