Job Description:

Big Companies Reporter

MarketWatch is seeking a curious and ambitious reporter to join its companies team to cover the business of the major corporations that form the backbone of the U.S. economy - from the strategies they pursue to the financials that move markets and the customers they serve.

You'll cover some of the biggest U.S. corporations and the financial forces driving their stocks, earnings and consumer relationships. That includes household names such as Walmart and Costco, industrial giants like GE and Caterpillar, and consumer finance leaders including Visa and American Express.

This is a high-profile position that requires ambition and an entrepreneurial spirit. You will need the range to view the economy through a wide lens and the rigor to dig into topics like major bankruptcies, how policies out of Washington affect sectors of the economy and how shifts in consumer behavior reshape corporate strategy (and vice versa).

Can you break news, provide smart analysis and identify trends while explaining to readers what it all means for the economy and consumers? Then this is the ideal role for you.

You'll publish articles on earnings and stock performance, but you'll also go beyond the daily news cycle and drive enterprise reporting on issues that matter.

The ideal candidate has a solid foundation in financial journalism, with a strong understanding of business strategy, capital markets and public filings. Prior experience covering companies is required.

The role is based in New York.

Responsibilities:

• Cover breaking news on major U.S. companies with urgency and insight
• Pitch and produce enterprise stories that go beyond headlines
• Interview executives, analysts and industry experts to surface trends
• Analyze SEC filings and distill quarterly corporate results for a broad audience
• Collaborate with editors, visuals and other teams to produce high-impact journalism

Qualifications:

• At least 2-5 years of covering business or financial news
• Fluency in investment terminology and business concepts
• Impeccable news judgement and an ability to identify smart, distinctive angles
• Demonstrated ability to deliver accurate and engaging stories
• A commitment to rigorous, reader-first reporting

You will:

• Flourish under pressure in a fast-paced newsroom
• Conduct insightful and thoughtful interviews
• Be meticulous in your writing and ambitious in your reporting
• Work collaboratively with colleagues across the organization
• Consistently pitch creative, high-impact story ideas
• Experience with podcasting and video storytelling is a plus

About the Role/MarketWatch:

You'll join a newsroom that helps people understand how money moves the world - and how to make smarter decisions about it. You'll write accessible, daily stories and craft features that anticipate or explain major corporate, investing and consumer trends. You'll be part of a small, collaborative team of writers and report to MarketWatch's Companies Editor.
