Journalist, Risk.net
About The Position
Infopro Digital, the B2B group specializing in information and technology, is currently looking for a Journalist on a permanent contract to strengthen the Risk.net team. Risk.net is seeking an energetic and insightful journalist to cover risk management, based in New York with hybrid working. The ideal candidate will be passionate and knowledgeable about finance, technology and law, with a talent for bringing complex topics to life, and the ability to combine the best elements of trade and mainstream financial journalism to produce must-read articles that stand out from the crowd. They should be equally adept at breaking news and writing in-depth, long-form features. A proven ability to build and maintain strong source relationships is a must. Risk.net covers financial institutions and markets for a professional audience, including senior executives at banks, hedge funds and regulators. The risk management desk is central to this effort, with a remit that spans the globe. Risk.net is a rare beast: a financial industry publication that thrives on long-form investigative journalism. Our readers represent the full cross-section of the market, and our reporting reflects this – we speak to banks and asset managers, the technology and infrastructure firms that connect them, and the regulators and supervisors that oversee them. This is a great strength, enabling us to piece together complex stories from multiple perspectives and points of view. Risk.net has a collegiate style – our team of around 30 journalists and editors, spread across three offices, actively collaborate on projects and pool their insights and contacts. We give our journalists the time and resources necessary to produce great stories. Standards are high, but so is management support.
