Break the stories that move markets.

Our client, a fintech news services, is building out their distressed debt team in Asia and is keen to meet financial reporters with great contacts and experience in the distressed debt sector. They are using their proprietary platform to deliver rapid, reliable insight across credit, legal, ESG and beyond.

• Writing sharp features that join the dots across market events
• Pitching fresh story ideas and uncovering under-reported situations

Ideally you will have experience of reporting on distressed debt, but you could be an experienced financial reporter who is keen to break into the distressed space, with demonstrable knowledge and experience of the issues in Asia. Either way, you will have curiosity, determination and the attributes to break scoops.

• 3+ years’ experience reporting on distressed debt or financial markets
• A proactive, people-first mindset – you like building contacts and asking smart questions
• Strong writing skills and the ability to explain complex ideas clearly
• A keen eye for accuracy, balance and detail
• A self-starting attitude with a genuine interest in financial news
