Description & Requirements
We are seeking an experienced reporter to cover the fast-moving world of financial regulation under President Donald Trump and its effects on consumer and investor protections.

We’ll expect you to:
- Break news on key developments in the financial regulatory space, with a focus on consumer and investor protections
- Build and maintain strong sourcing within regulatory agencies, trade groups, legal experts, and the financial industry
- Collaborate with reporters across teams to deliver smart, in-depth enterprise stories, especially on emerging sectors like cryptocurrency and fintech
You’ll need to have:
- A proven track record of breaking news and producing impactful enterprise journalism
- Deep interest in financial policy, regulatory trends, and their real-world implications
- Strong sourcing and reporting skills, especially in complex or opaque institutions
- The ability to explain complicated financial and legal topics clearly and compellingly to a broad audience
