3. Brainstorm with colleagues who share deep knowledge and passion about the sectors they cover
4. Grow your source base and industry knowledge by attending conferences and events in the UK and mainland Europe
5. Enjoy a competitive benefits package, including annual, performance-driven bonuses and a flexible working culture.

Responsibilities:

• Regularly pitch workable story ideas
• Write long-form stories and data-driven analyses, as well as shorter, timely pieces
• Collaborate with in-house data experts to find ways to incorporate data into stories, driving our news beyond the headlines
• Collaborate with Production team to craft creative infographics and visuals
• Attend conferences, further build out your book of contacts/sources, and research topics in your coverage area
• There are also opportunities for panel moderation, in-house presentations and other initiatives to help build our brand

What we're looking for:

Basic qualifications and experience:

• Strong writing skills and a strong command of journalistic practices (AP style, libel issues, etc.)
• Several years' experience working in business journalism
• An affinity for analyzing numbers, using in-house data intelligence, financial reports and other industry information
• Effective communication skills: You will need to collaborate with a wide group of team members, some in the same office and some located elsewhere
• Openness to editorial feedback
• A desire to own your coverage and beat other outlets to the big stories
• Native-level (or near-native-level) spoken and written English skills
