S&P Global seeks insurance reporter

S&P Global Market Intelligence, a premier sector-focused news and information provider, is looking for a top-notch insurance reporter to be based in its Charlottesville, Va.

The beat will focus on P&C, life and health insurance companies and the regulations, trends, economic events and technology that affect them.

Reporters cover their beat on a daily basis, allowing them to build a network of contacts, learn about market dynamics, and gain a greater understanding of the insurance industry. S&P Global Market Intelligence is unique in that it provides for growth not only within a sector, but also amongst other sectors within our Newsroom, or even other groups all around the world.

The Team:
