International Financing Review, the leading source of information on fixed income and equity markets, is looking for a knowledgeable and motivated reporter to cover US credit markets with a focus on sustainable financing.

Sustainable financing is at the center of the global capital markets even as it faces challenges on several fronts. Every market participant now cares – or pretends to care – about sustainability.

Role Responsibilities:

Breaking news and writing on IFR’s website and LSEG's Workspace platform, ensuring a daily flow of information on new deals, pricing, terms and themes in an efficiently and timely fashion across the products

Covering credit markets and sustainable finance in sometimes considerable depth, but explaining them in a clear and punchy fashion

Exercising sound news judgment on what moves markets and why

Establishing and maintaining close contact with bankers, traders, investors, lawyers, analysts, regulators, etc.
