Key Skills
- Numeracy. Unhedged is largely about numbers. The successful candidate will be able to see the story in a balance sheet and interrogate numbers to reach fresh conclusions. A grasp of statistical concepts is helpful.
- Facility with data. The Unhedged team spends a lot of time in Excel, working with data drawn from public sources and proprietary data providers.
- Background knowledge of finance and/or economics.
- Fluency in prose. Unhedged’s voice is important. The right candidate will be able to hear it, imitate it and ultimately contribute to it.
- Ability to work quickly. Going from idea to reporting to analysis to publication in the span of 24 hours requires a capacity to produce high-quality content rapidly.
- Attention to detail. A daily, thousand-word newsletter with lots of charts means errors creep in. The right person will catch them.
