Reuters seeks global editor for Reuters FX Buzz

Reuters is seeking a sophisticated forex market expert, an exceptional journalist or analyst and a dynamic, energetic leader to take command of our flagship short-form markets analysis product, Reuters FX Buzz.

The successful candidate will oversee the global team of analysts and editors that drive Reuters’ core, around-the-clock coverage and analysis of currencies and macroeconomic trends.

The role requires someone who can help craft and then execute the strategic needs of the product while always being ready to jump into the thick of fast-moving, real-time markets coverage. The successful candidate will also help guide the development of the Buzz brand in other asset classes, such as equities and energy markets.
