Dealreporter, an online news service that is part of the Mergermarket Group, has an opening for a financial journalist to cover equity capital markets from New York.
This fast-paced role is entirely focused on off-diary/enterprise reporting and is a great opportunity for a reporter looking to move into an investigative journalism position. Articles may range from breaking news that a company is considering an IPO to revealing details on a block trade.
The right candidate needs to be able to generate original story ideas, make new sources and quickly pick up financial information. An established source book of investor, corporate finance or ECM sources is preferred, though applicants with a strong networking ability will be considered. The right candidate should be as happy reporting a story independently as working with a team of reporters based around the world.
Key Skills:
- Keen interest in business news, M&A, IPOs
- Ability to interview investment bankers, investors and senior executives
- Existing corporate finance contact book or strong networking skills
- Strong aptitude for understanding SEC filings, balance sheets
