Financial Journalist
Dealreporter is looking for a driven financial journalist looking to progress in a career in investigative reporting.
The role is with a fast-paced news service publishing real-time scoops and detailed analyses on large cap corporates. The right candidate will enjoy taking on intellectual challenges and breaking stories.
The role is solely focused on off-diary reporting. The right candidate will be as happy working on a story independently as working with a team of sector specialists to stack up a hypothesis on a company.
Dealreporter’s team of multi-lingual journalists focus on high profile MA deals and corporate events as well as providing detailed analysis on the financial health of European large-cap corporates.
Candidates should have strong writing and interpersonal skills with experience at another financial news service, newspaper or online publication. Applicants need to demonstrate a proven ability to generate leads, make new sources and pick up technical information easy.
An already established contact book of corporate finance or MA sources would be a huge advantage. Fluency in a European language, particularly French, Italian or German is desirable. The role is based in London, but we will consider other major European financial centers for the right candidate.
Dealreporter is a part of the Financial Times group. Dealreporter is a fast-paced news service for hedge funds, prop desks, fixed income investors and ECM desks.
Requirements:
- Desire to break news on large cap corporates;
- Proven ability to draw key information from sources;
- Established contact book of corporate finance or MA sources;
- Ability to network and interview dealmakers at a high level;
- Fluency in French, Italian or German is desirable;
- Strong writing ability and investigative mind;
- Excellent time management and communication skills
