The Role: Are you an experienced business journalist with a passion for breaking news, uncovering market-moving trends and writing quick stories and in-depth projects alike? We are seeking a talented senior reporter to cover the U.S. financial technology space. As a member of one of the highest-profile teams in our global newsroom, you would cover the fintech and payments space, with a particular focus on the digital transformation of the banking industry, payments firms like PayPal and how regulators are keeping up with disruptive change. This position is perfect for a self-starter who wants ownership of one of the most exciting beats in business journalism.

The Location: Charlottesville, Va.; New York City; Washington, D.C. area; WFH considered

The Team: Reporters and editors around the world collaborate to bring readers breaking news and in-depth reporting on the regulatory changes, M&A activity and business trends impacting the financial sector. We value creative thinking, teamwork, passion for news, curiosity and of course, stellar writing.

The Impact: Our readers are watching as fintech firms increasingly disrupt traditional banking models and regulatory regimes. Our stories dive in behind the headlines to inform decision-makers in the public and private sectors with analyses and data they can't find elsewhere.

What's in it for you:
- Ownership of a fast-paced, dynamic beat with a growing, engaged reader base: One day you might be hustling to follow up on a $30 billion merger in the payments industry, the next exploring whether online lenders are making riskier loans than their traditional bank counterparts.
- Grow your source base and industry knowledge by attending conferences and events around the country.
- Use our unmatched data to tell stories while working closely with in-house data journalists and subject matter authorities.
- Opportunities to collaborate with, lead and mentor other reporters and team members.
- Be part of a global team of journalists and editors passionate about news.

Responsibilities:
- Break news on fintech firms.
- Write follow-up stories on merger activity and major company developments.
- Track developments at major financial regulatory bodies related to fintech.
- Juggle multiple assignments with different publication timelines.
- Write spot coverage of breaking news, earnings and regulatory developments.
- Craft data-driven stories on the trends shaping the fintech and digital banking space.
- Brainstorm ideas to build our coverage in collaboration with editors and data journalists.

Basic Qualifications:
- Excellent writing skills
- 4+ years of business journalism experience
- Openness to editorial feedback
- Drive to beat the competition to the big stories

Preferred Qualifications:
- 2+ years covering financial technology
- Understanding of M&A transactions and capital markets
