The reporter will primarily focus on the mid-market, breaking news on leveraged buyouts (LBOs) and refinancings. The role entails developing a broad base of market sources, particularly in the direct lending and banking space, in order to stay on top of the most actionable deals in the market and its trends. This will involve having source meetings, participating in conferences and travelling.

  • Establishing and maintaining relationships with market sources, particularly within private credit funds, banks and debt advisers.
  • Developing a comprehensive knowledge and view of the direct lending and bank financing markets.
  • Work independently and in teams, across other products in the group.

Skills & Requirements:

  • Experience either in a news reporter role, ideally with a financial focus, or in financial markets with a proven desire to write, or in a market reporting role.
  • A self-starter attitude with a cooperative approach.
  • An investigative mind and good writing skills.
  • Networking and contact building skills.
  • Tenacity in sourcing and chasing news leads. 
  • Excellent time management and communication skills.
  • A prior knowledge of leveraged finance and private equity would be a plus.

Nice to have:

  • European languages are an advantage, and you will have the opportunity for foreign travel to meet with sources and moderate at conferences.
  • Existing contacts in the European leveraged finance market.
