Reuters is looking for a strong reporter and writer to join our New York-based mergers team with an emphasis on breaking news about deals and dealmakers.
One of the highest pressure jobs at Reuters, but also one of the most rewarding, the M&A reporting job is one that demands strong source-building skills and a passion for being first on the news that matters most to our customers. Based in New York, you will be at the center of it all and get the chance to build relationships with the movers and shakers of the elaborate Wall Street deal machine.
The M&A reporting team is one of our most enterprising and represents the vanguard of Reuters effort to set the news agenda ourselves rather than writing up press releases and filings. Coverage will include writing about or analyzing deals that have already happened, coordinating with beat reporters to identify those businesses or industries ripest for dealmaking and tirelessly chasing down any and all leads.
M&A reporters are responsible for writing regular “Dealtalk” columns that examine trends in the takeover. Above all, you are expected to be constantly talking to clued-in sources whether on the phone or via face-to-face meetings.
