France M&A and Banking Correspondent – Reuters

Reuters is looking for a scoop-driven and tenacious correspondent to break stories on France’s largest M&A deals and its banking industry. It’s an intense beat covering a sector where decisions on sensitive transactions and key restructurings are closely scrutinized by the government, but one that will give the successful candidate the opportunity to produce exclusive work that helps set the finance team news agenda. The outcome of the French presidential election in April along with the country’s role in supporting Ukraine is expected to have a deep impact on deal-making and business policy in the euro zone’s second biggest economy. M&A is one of the newsiest, most market-sensitive parts of Reuters’ financial file and requires investigative skills and exceptional source-building talent to win the trust of France’s cosy network of bankers, corporate lawyers and business people.
