The reporter will join a team of seasoned journalists in ferreting out scoops and creating must-have content for executives working in the ever-changing asset-management industry.

We seek dedicated reporters who are interested in joining a team focused on keeping our publication’s market-leading position by contributing fresh, original content relevant to our niche audience.

The ideal candidate will relish working a beat, developing a network of sources, deriving narratives from regulatory filings and breaking news. We welcome creative ideas for presenting information to our readers across print, graphic and video platforms. Applicants should be flexible and comfortable working as part of a team.

Although not required, the ideal candidate will have experience covering financial services.

The job involves speaking and meeting regularly with senior-level industry executives, and covering industry conferences, some of which require travel outside of New York City.

The successful candidate will be expected to provide several well-developed stories each week, participate in webinars and other events and contribute to our regular video coverage.
