Reuters is seeking a journalist who is a proven news breaker and deeply sourced professional to cover the U.S. Federal Reserve from Washington.
We need someone with a hefty record in delivering ahead-of-the-curve initiative reporting and agenda-setting stories, who is comfortable handling breaking news, and whose prose stands out for its clarity.
The Fed is one of Washington’s most cloistered institutions, so the winning candidate will need excellent source-building skills. Moreover, this reporter must be capable of generating smart and incisive copy that takes readers beyond the bank’s clutch of annual public events to paint the big picture about the future policy track for the world’s most important central bank.
The Fed is at a critical juncture. It about to welcome a new chair and vice chair just as the Fed is preparing to wind down the greatest monetary policy experiment of all time. A mountain of unanswered questions on the direction of U.S. monetary policy, the U.S. and global economies and world financial markets will emerge in the wake of this high-stakes act.
Qualifications
We need someone who is able to come to terms with the beat quickly and who can help drive the file on what is one of the most important stories for our diverse readership. We also need a team player who can work hand in glove with the rest of our Fed coverage team. The reporter who wins this post needs to have a grounding in both economics and finance and a strong sense for how Fed policy interacts with financial markets. Even more so, however, this person needs a hard nose for news and the skills required to tell a big story well.
