About the role

AI, politics, private credit, supply shocks, and other global forces are upending the world of business and finance, reordering how money moves around the globe.

Responsibilities

• Help lead the expansion of Semafor business from a twice-weekly business and finance briefing to a daily must-read
• Break significant, agenda-setting stories on the business and finance beat — private credit, hedge funds, private equity, banking, and the political and geopolitical forces reshaping the world of business and capital markets
• Write reported columns and analytical pieces with real point of view for a sophisticated audience of executives, investors, and decision-makers
• Work closely with Semafor colleagues across the global newsroom
• Develop and maintain deep, senior-level sources across Wall Street, financial institutions, and the regulatory and political ecosystem around capital markets
• Appear on TV, podcasts, and Semafor's marquee live journalism, where you'll host on-the-record interviews with the most senior business and finance leaders

Who you are

• A proven, scoop-hungry reporter with at least 5 years of experience and a demonstrated track record of sourcing up on Wall Street, inside boardrooms, and private Signal chats— and a clear sense of where the next beat of a big story is heading
• Someone who has developed a voice and smart takes on the biggest news in finance, and who can move fluidly between breaking a story and writing something authoritative and compelling about what it means
• A comprehensive reader of the competitive landscape, always aware of what's been done and what hasn't
• A self-starter with experience in fast-moving, ambitious newsroom environments and the willingness to jump in wherever the team needs you
• A contagious passion for news in all its forms
