This is a core reporting role at a publication where markets journalism isn't a beat—it's the backbone of everything we do.

You Have

Knowledgeable about equities, fixed income, currencies, and commodities, with the ability to translate complex market dynamics into clear, compelling journalism that serves both sophisticated investors and general readers

Driven by strong news instincts and a feel for timing—knowing when a story needs to move fast and when it warrants deeper reporting

A fluid writer who can shift between short digital updates and longer analytical pieces without losing authority or precision

Skilled at cultivating and maintaining sources across Wall Street, asset management, and corporate finance

Comfortable working with data and collaborating with designers on charts and visualizations that sharpen a story's argument

Energized by the pace of daily markets coverage while keeping longer-term stories in motion
