Infopro Digital is hiring: Journalist, Risk.net in New York

The journalist will help drive coverage for the Markets desk - the largest of Risk's four desks, in terms of both traffic and headcount.
The reporting will compose of a mix of regular news stories, deeply reported features, profiles and data-led articles. The role requires at least two years' financial reporting experience, preferably within capital markets, but not exclusively. The successful applicant must be a good contact builder and be able to generate their own story ideas.
Traditionally an OTC derivatives publication, Risk's coverage has evolved along with those markets - encompassing flow trading, as well as structured and exotic products. For flow, stories may focus on market structure, electronic and automated trading, as well as the cash and listed products that are traded alongside standardised OTC derivatives. In the structured and exotic space, coverage tends to focus more heavily on products, pricing, valuation and risk management. In all cases, Risk's coverage stands out by virtue of its depth. We may not always be first, but we will always offer more insight and analysis.
Our readers represent the full cross-section of the market, and our reporting reflects that - we speak to banks and non-bank liquidity providers, asset managers, hedge funds, pension funds, insurers, corporate treasurers, regulators and supervisors, exchanges, trading platforms and clearing houses, lawyers, consultants, and software vendors. This is a great strength, enabling us to piece together complex stories that have multiple stakeholders. It also means we have to be sensitive to a story's nuances: there may not always be a clear winner, or a clear loser.
As derivatives trading has become more transparent, our Markets stories increasingly make use of public datasets - and we expect this kind of reporting to become increasingly important.
Key responsibilities: Generate a regular flow of news stories. This includes a mix of exclusive news pieces, conference stories, and data-led articles.
Research and write 2,000-3,000 word feature articles, which require several interviews with various market participants and observers.
Build reliable contacts across a variety of market segments, and use them to generate story ideas or develop existing ones.
Requirements: Proven journalism experience, preferably covering financial markets.
Knowledge of the financial industry and its major players.
Impeccable writing skills and a knack for explaining complex topics in plain English.
An ability to write with flair and, when appropriate, a sense of humor would be a bonus!
A keen eye for detail and nuance.
A willingness to learn about a broad range of financial topics.
Benefits: As well as working with some of the most interesting, talented and fun people, we operate a culture where success is recognized. You will be supported throughout your career, tailoring your development through management support, internal and external training courses, and on-the-job training.
In addition to a competitive salary we offer the following benefits:
Flexible and hybrid working based on employee needs.
20 Vacation Days (rising to 25 days).
5 Sick Days.
