We are looking for a Reporter to join Citywire’s highly motivated and ambitious editorial team. London-based, this reporter will break exclusive news, interview major figures and deliver insightful analysis for our audience of financial advisers.

• Cover a wide array of topics, including investment trends and how they impact client portfolios and what is going on at financial planning businesses.
• Break original and exclusive news that matters for advisers and the wider investment world. 

What we’re looking for:

• Ambition & Curiosity: A natural curiosity and desire to learn about the financial sector and to develop new reporting skills. A prior knowledge or interest in investments or finance is preferred, but not essential.
• Strong Communication skills: You have the ability to build rapport with contacts, ask the right questions, and explain complex topics clearly and effectively.
• Enthusiasm for data: You will be comfortable working with numbers and be interested in developing your skills to pitch and develop data-led stories about investing and the advice market.
• Fast-Paced Environment: You are comfortable working to tight deadlines and can thrive in a fast-paced news environment.
