Job Reference number: 35695
A growing financial intelligence provider is looking for a scoop-driven Reporter to break stories on the Datacentre market.
You will be joining an editorial team which produces primary sourced deal intelligence through trusted relationships with senior leaders and dealmakers, regularly breaking news on market-defining transactions. They provide actionable intelligence insights to their audience of investors, advisors and C-suite executives.
You will be constantly talking to the key players in the datacentre market, pro-actively organising meetings to obtain off-diary insights on the stages of M&A and project financing deals. You will use the source cultivation skills you have developed from your experience so far to build a world class contact book and develop deep sector expertise, following a thorough training process. This is a natural next step for dynamic reporters, and an opportunity to report on one of the fastest growing and widely discussed beats in the market.
