Journalism Job

Media Organization: REDD Intelligence

Company Description

Risk Event-Driven and Distressed Intelligence (REDD) is an online financial information platform that provides intelligence and data on emerging-market companies
REDD was founded in October 2013 by partners in Manhattan and Silicon Valley with the idea of combining the latest web-based technology with emerging-markets financial intelligence and data.
REDD's team of journalists and analysts is based out of Buenos Aires, Santiago de Chile, Sao Paulo, Mexico City, New York and California.

Job Description

REDD is looking for a self-starter seeking an introductory New York-based position in financial journalism and exposure to Latin America and the emerging markets.
The reporter will initially cover the primary bond market, gaining valuable insight into the interplay between market technicals, company fundamentals, politics and economics, working alongside and learning from our market-leading team of veteran financial journalists and analysts. With experience and growth, the reporter will “graduate” to covering complex event-driven special situations, investigating catalyst trading events that influence securities’ prices.

This job is challenging and requires an out-of-the-box thinker, someone who is eager to learn and investigate, and is not discouraged by a steep learning curve. A large part of the job is establishing relationships with sources from the market, companies and government, so the successful candidate will be amicable and approachable. The position requires strong time management skills and the ability to multitask in a fast-paced environment, often covering multiple time-sensitive deals in one day.

The candidate should have some knowledge of finance, economics and history, and have an interest in Latin American economic and political history. Strong English language skills and proficiency in Spanish and/or Portuguese are a must.
