Deputy Bureau Chief, Turkey

We are looking for a dynamic and experienced journalist to help lead an agenda-setting news file from Turkey, a NATO member and a pivotal regional power with outsized influence in European and Middle Eastern security. President Tayyip Erdogan has transformed Turkey in his two decades in power, shifting it away from modern secular traditions and turning it into an assertive diplomatic and military presence in regions stretching from the South Caucasus to North Africa. We need someone with strong writing and reporting skills who can deliver deep-dive enterprise stories at the same time as supporting our high-performing team covering a critical juncture in Erdogan's rule – with runaway inflation and a battered lira combining to threaten his bid for re-election in the months ahead. Turkey is one of the world's most important emerging markets. Its economy, politics, diplomacy and military interventions are of huge interest to financial and media clients as well as readers on our own dotcom and digital platforms.
