Job Summary

What You’ll Do

Use news judgment to identify the stories that matter most to professional audiences, then summarize them into concise briefs.
Write follow-up analysis explaining what the news means for investors.
Understand what the audience needs and expects, and connect the content to them.
Work with reporters and editors across different desks, bureaus and regions.
Uphold the organization’s editorial standards and ethics.
Stay proactive: anticipate stories rather than just react to them.
Use data as a journalism tool (a plus).

What We’re Looking For

Strong news judgment, with the ability to quickly prioritize and summarize large amounts of information into clear, accurate briefs
General awareness of how a newsroom works and an understanding of newsroom workflow
A strong sense of urgency and the ability to stay calm under pressure
A track record of meeting deadlines while juggling multiple tasks
Flexibility to change or hand off tasks as news breaks
Intellectual curiosity and a desire to keep learning
Team player who communicates precisely and with compassion
Availability for the hybrid schedule and 1 weekend day as needed
Comfort with data is a plus

Must

A few things stand out:

News judgment is the core skill. Most of the listed duties come back to deciding what’s important and summarizing it well.
It’s a deadline-driven, breaking-news environment. Urgency, calm under pressure, multitasking and being flexible about handing off work are all emphasized.
They want someone who already knows how a newsroom runs. They’re not looking for a trainee, so prior newsroom or wire-service experience will be a strong signal.
Audience focus matters. The reporter writes for finance professionals and investors, so market and finance literacy is implied even though it isn’t stated outright.
Team fit counts. They’ll work with editors and reporters across desks and bureaus.
