Description

Company:
POLITICO
POLITICO is looking for a finance reporter to join a growing team in the U.K. and help build a new subscription service focused on U.K. finance policy.

We provide non-partisan, distinctive journalism for policy and political professionals in Westminster and internationally.

We are excited about the opportunity to expand our financial coverage, both to dig deeper into the Treasury and the City and to join reporting up with colleagues in Frankfurt, Brussels and beyond.

This is an opportunity to bring POLITICO's trademark style of distinctive, impartial, smart reporting to U.K. finance.

The role will cater to a sophisticated audience of insiders for POLITICO Pro, our subscription news service, as well as writing for a broader readership on our free websites globally.

Alongside breaking news, you will jointly author a new must-read morning newsletter for POLITICO Pro subscribers.

The role would suit a scoop-hungry, energetic journalist who relishes technical detail, is alive to the politics underpinning policy decisions and is looking to stand out.

Responsibility include:

Coauthor a new finance policy subscription service, including a morning newsletter
Develop scoops and original story ideas, both for the subscription service and for POLITICO's freetoread website
Cover the formulation of UK finance policy, understand what really drives it and who the power players are
Cover the implications of policy decisions for industry as well as the political fallout
Politics obsessive — demonstrable interest in Westminster politics and policy
Strong attention to detail and unafraid of digging into policy coverage in some depth
Preexisting knowledge of finance policy desirable, though not essential
Proven ability to develop sources
Comfortable working at speed and developing longerterm projects
Selfstarter with a willingness to work somewhat flexibly

We Value Our People
Our benefits package is built for you, and includes:

Hybrid work: Whether you love company and enjoy collaborating with colleagues in person or want some time alone at home to get some deep work done.
Work from abroad days: Fancy a workday from atop a mountain resort, or want to work from your parent's dining room table around the holidays? POLITICO offers the opportunity to work from abroad for a limited period each year.
Health and Wellness: Across the different cities where we have offices, we offer various initiatives that contribute to your wellbeing.
Transportation: Say goodbye to traffic jams and hello to smooth commutes. POLITICO partially covers public transportation costs.
