Credit Correspondent (Level 1 Journalist)

Reuters is looking for a prolific scoop-getter to join our team in New York that covers the financial industry and markets. This position of Credit Correspondent is a key role in a team that uses markets as a tip sheet to break news, not only about high finance but also the broader world. The successful candidate will have sources who are involved in the whole spectrum of credit, from IG and HY to commercial paper. You’ll be conversant in the world of MBS, ABS and CLOs as well as other corners of the market. You’d be happy chasing a blockbuster offering or figuring out whether there’s stress in a particular market. You’re also able to step back and write the bigger picture for a broad audience. If you are constantly talking to sources, understand how finance works, thrive when you break a story and are paranoid about losing, we want to talk to you.
