International Financing Review, the leading source of information on fixed income and equity markets, is looking for a knowledgeable and motivated reporter to cover US credit markets with a focus on sustainable financing.

Sustainable financing is at the center of the global capital markets even as it faces challenges on several fronts. Every market participant now cares – or pretends to care – about sustainability. But it is a market that is rife with questions that need answering, issues that need exploring, truths that need uncovering and spin that needs unspinning.

For the well-connected and hard-working journalist there are great scoops and insightful analysis pieces to be written.

The successful candidate for this role will need to have the experience and ability to break news and the understanding and talent to explain sometimes complicated stories.

Our ideal reporter is likely to have contacts in the financing industry – and the charm and energy to add more. He or she will also have a track‑record of breaking news – especially news that someone didn’t want to see in print.
