• 8+ years of experience in financial journalism

• Deep understanding of finance and markets, including familiarity with banking, investment management, stocks, bonds, real estate, private equity, credit, takeovers and mergers, energy and commodities, economics, trading, central banking, venture capital, and consumer finance.

• Fluency in and intense curiosity about culture, public affairs and the wider world that is shaped by (and shapes) markets and finance.

• Proven ability to translate sophisticated financial material into engaging and accessible language, without sacrificing accuracy or precision

• Experience commissioning and editing enterprise journalism and compelling, accessible markets and economic analysis for an intelligent, global audience with high expectations
