Reuters seeks finance editor in Hong Kong

Reuters is seeking a Finance Editor, Asia to oversee the financial industry news file across Asia. The successful candidate for this high-profile role must be able to juggle the high intensity news flow from M&A, Equity Capital Markets and fund-raising deals with a pipeline of unique, hard-hitting initiative stories about banks, insurers and other financial institutions operating in the region.

Financial news is a critically important part of the Reuters file, not just because of the steady stream of market-sensitive information coming from the industry, but also because of the Thomson Reuters customers who depend on the sector’s daily flow of articles, announcements, breaking news and insights.

A nose for what constitutes a major deal/fund raising scoop from an everyday transaction is a must in this job, as is rock solid sourcing judgment for what are often market-moving headlines. In addition, the job requires in-depth knowledge of new regulations that impact the financial industry in Asia and beyond.

Responsibilities: –

– Managing a team of up to nine experienced reporters, in addition to keeping a finger on the pulse of the financial news flowing from places such as China, India and Southeast Asia
– Involves close coordination with the Japan Finance Team and counterparts in the U.S. and EMEA.
– The Finance Editor will need to harness the strengths of the finance teams across Asia to generate exclusive and agenda setting stories that will set the Reuters file apart from our competitors, producing a must-have service for our clients.
– The role may involve a heavy amount of reporting, as well as building and running a team of consummate news breakers and market movers.
– Asia’s Finance EIC will be part of a senior news team shaping the regional and global file.
