Establish a new coverage area for a leading intelligence business covering European credit, with a clear path to building a team.
Secondary activity in private credit has accelerated sharply, with GP-led deal volume climbing as institutional capital moves into the market. This desk is creating a dedicated beat to match, and you will define it: generating leads on private credit borrowers facing pressure and covering the sale of LP fund interests and loan portfolios, as well as GP-led deals. Reporting centres on PE-owned businesses financed by private debt.
You will set the coverage agenda from day one, working alongside an established team of journalists and financial and legal analysts in London. As the beat proves out, you will be well positioned to build a team and take on section editor responsibilities.
