The beat includes both breaking news and features and entails working with others on the deals team. The position is based in New York. Prior financial or corporate reporting experience required. The ideal candidate is a proven news breaker who also has a demonstrated ability to write conceptual enterprise pieces. Experience covering markets, deals or companies is required.
