- Collaborate closely with colleagues within the bureau and across the region
- Be a key part of bureau/team coverage expansion plans (eg by outreach with consumers of our news, helping to project manage some initiatives); take ownership for delivering on the goals that the team is set
You'll need to have:
- A bachelor's degree or equivalent experience
- Previous financial journalism experience
