The European retail correspondent will work closely with reporters in the region, and globally, to build sources, break news and dive deeply into the corporate strategies of some of the biggest retailers in the world including specialty retailers such as H&M, Ikea, Adidas and Puma. The correspondent also will build sources at, and cover, the European operations of global retailers including Amazon and Alibaba. The ideal candidate will be a skilled communicator, working closely with other teams including our retail reporting teams in the U.S., Bangalore and reporters across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. This role is advertised with a London base but can be located in another major European centre for candidates outside the UK.
