- Build and maintain strong source networks across asset management, private banking and wealth management.
- Work with our global editorial and video teams to produce high-impact multimedia content.
- Attend industry events, Citywire conferences and external roundtables, producing on-the-ground coverage.
- Take ownership of your beat, finding original stories and breaking news.
- Represent Citywire at live events, including moderating panels.
What we’re looking for:
- Language Skills: Fluent English and Spanish (near-native); Portuguese is a bonus.
- Experience: Proven journalism experience, ideally covering finance, markets, or investments, with a proven track record of breaking stories.
- Industry Knowledge: Strong understanding of financial markets, asset management, and private banking.
- Writing & Editing: Able to turn complex ideas into clear, concise, and compelling content under tight deadlines.
- Interviewing & Networking: Confident building relationships with senior professionals and developing a network of trusted sources.
- Analytical Skills: Think critically and translate data, trends, and market insights into actionable journalism.
- News Sense: Skilled at spotting stories, breaking news, and pitching original ideas that resonate with a professional audience.
- Technical Skills: Comfortable with digital publishing tools, with multimedia or video experience a bonus.
- Collaboration & Mindset: Self-motivated, proactive, and able to thrive independently while working closely with remote colleagues.
