Breaking News Analysis Reporter in London

Barron's is seeking a high-energy business and finance reporter who can insightfully cover breaking corporate, economic, and market news from our London bureau. We are seeking a fast, accurate reporter and writer able to offer insights into the biggest stories of the day, typically focused on U.S. equities.

A successful candidate would have at least three years of experience covering these topics, be digitally savvy, and a confident multitasker.
