Reporter, FundFire

Reporting duties: The reporter will be responsible for unearthing news, trends and developments in the institutional investment industry. The reporter will develop a network of sources including asset management firms and institutional investors to help generate news scoops, story ideas and insights to share with readers. This is an ideal opportunity for a reporter who wants to take ownership of an important beat on a highly influential industry publication. The reporter will be expected to produce three or more stories a week using analytical, quantitative and/or documentary material, as well as interviews with high-level executives. The reporter will have the opportunity to break news as well as to work on in-depth, enterprise stories. Top candidates should be enthusiastic about business journalism; possess strong intellectual curiosity, creativity, and time management skills; and thrive in a team-based work environment. Applicants must be capable of understanding complicated topics quickly and then reporting on these issues in a clear manner. The role also involves contributing to multi-media content, including video interviews and webcasts, as well as creating basic charts and tables. There are occasional opportunities to collaborate with the FT on panels and other endeavors and to travel to conferences. Every reporter and editor at FundFire is held to fundamental standards of integrity, honesty and journalistic ethics. We value collaboration and creativity.
